Politics is one of the highest forms of charity
because it seeks the common good. – Pope Francis
Catholics strive to live up to Pope Francis’ words by taking seriously
our duty to participate in the public square. We don’t help others
because they are Catholic, but because we are Catholics. For 2,000
years, from Jesus to Mother Teresa, from St. Francis to Pope Francis, our
faith inspires us to seek a common good.
The Maryland Catholic Conference works in Annapolis to give a voice
to those have none: the imprisoned, the immigrant, the homeless, the
unemployed, the unborn child, the hungry, struggling children and
families, the elderly, the sick. This overview provides a snapshot of
the Catholic “footprint” in legislative District 25. Through our dioceses,
parishes, schools, ministries, charities and individuals, we try to make
our state a place of fairness for all by providing concrete resources to
those in need.
OUr Schools
Not only do our Catholic schools provide students with a top-notch education to improve the world,
but they save the state of Maryland millions of dollars a year, especially in educating those from lowerincome families. Statistics show that where Catholic schools exist in Maryland, crimes rates go down
and children perform better. Below we list the schools based in District 25.
