Fr. Dan Leary is Back

 

In June/July 2020, Fr. Dan Leary left the Archdiocese of Washington (St. Andrew the Apostle, Silver Spring) to become the chaplain of the Sisters of Mary, which serves the poor worldwide.  You can find more about them here.  

It was reported in the latest issue of the Catholic Standard, in the section on Clergy Assignments, that Fr. Leary has been assigned as Pastor of St. John the Evangelist in Clinton, MD.

I had assumed that his transfer was permanent, as there was no indication in any writing that this was temporary.

His videos on his work stopped about two years ago.  Recently, there were a few that appeared on the website for FOCUS in regards to Lent and Holy Week. 

I do not know the reason for this.  Don't know if there was a falling out.  Don't know if was due to illness.  Don't know if he became burned out.  Don't know if he realized that this was not the life Christ was calling him to be. 

I simply do not know.

No matter what, please keep him in your prayers.

Catholic Parents who send their children to MoCo Public Schools: Are you aware of this?

 

REA(LifeSiteNews) — One of the largest and most radically pro-LGBT school districts in America is indoctrinating children into LGBT ideology as early as age 4 without parents’ consent or even their knowledge.

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), located in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., announced in an email on March 23 that parents can no longer opt their children out of pro-LGBT books and lessons.

The district, which has more than 160,000 students, will not even notify parents before exposing children to transgenderism and homosexuality, according to the email.

“MCPS expects all classrooms to be inclusive and safe spaces for students, including those who identify as LGBTQ+ or have family members in the LGBTQ+ community,” the email said. “A broad representation of personal characteristics within curricular or instructional materials promotes this desired outcome.”

Archdiocese blasts Walter Reed after 'cease and desist' to priests ahead of Holy Week

 

 

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center is receiving backlash after it ended its contract for pastoral care and directed a "cease and desist order" to a community of Franciscan Catholic priests and friars at Holy Name College on March 31, days before Holy Week.

The priests had spent the last two decades ministering to U.S. military personnel, veterans, and their beneficiaries at the medical center. 

 For the complete story, go to The Washington Examiner.   

Note: I bet that faithful Catholic Joe Biden will be right on top of this one.  NOT!

 

 

Statue of Virgin Mary Stolen

 

A statue of the Virgin Mary was stolen this month from outside Our Lady of the Visitation Catholic Church in Darnestown, according to church officials.

Church officials say they are working with Montgomery County Police to investigate the incident, which took place Feb. 10, and hope to get it back. Surveillance video appears to show two people pull up and drive off with the statue. [Fox 5]
