Announcements
A Message from Ken DeMoll - Director of Youth Ministry
Dear Parish family: After four years of service, I am stepping down from my position as director of youth ministry. In the wake of losing my daughter, I was feeling the desire to be home and present to my own children more. God affirmed that desire when St. John in Westminster reached out to me and offered the chance to take over their youth ministry program. St. John is the parish I started in as a youth minister 15 years ago and I have many friends still in the parish. Working in this parish allows me to cut my commute in half. Despite the many good things, it was a very difficult decision. I have come to know and love so many of you. Thank you for welcoming me to be a part of your lives and your hearts. Working here has made me a better youth minster and a better man. I will always cherish my time in Ellicott City. Thank you for the amazing opportunity to serve you.

Mardi Gras Shoebox Parade
Join us on February 25th, 2020 at 2:30PM for a gallery walk to view Mardis Gras shoebox floats created by RSPS students. Walk through the gallery with student participants donning custom made masks, beads and 3D printed doubloons to celebrate Shrove Tuesday and the end of the Mardis Gras season.
*Please note that this event is different than last year's event. This year is a walk through of a display of smaller scaled floats made from items such as tissue and cereal boxes. By scaling down the size of the floats, it makes it easier to view the floats as well as have more participants.

Toiletries for Tara
Tomorrow is the final day of collecting for Toiletries for Tara.
Tara Howard was a student at Resurrection-St. Paul School from Kindergarten through her 8th Grade graduation. During high school, she was a Confirmation Peer minister and active member of the Youth Group. Tara loved helping people, especially the POOR and HOMELESS. Because she went home to God in January 2006 when she was 18, Tara can’t help them now without us.
