Regarding the Archdiocese’s Historic Handling of Allegations of Abuse by Ministers of the Church

On Thursday, the Maryland Office of the Attorney General filed a motion in court seeking permission to publicly release a report on his office’s four-year investigation of the Archdiocese’s handling of abuse allegations dating back to the 1940’s. The information contained in the motion was deeply troubling and painful, especially for those harmed, as well as for the laity and the many good priests, deacons, and religious who have faithfully served in our Archdiocese.

FR. RAFF'S OBITUARY

On Christmas Eve evening, Dec. 24, 2021, Rev. Brian Michael Rafferty, went home to the Lord.  Raff, as he was affectionately known by many, was surrounded by friends, love and prayers at the hour of his death.

Fr. Rafferty will long be remembered for his challenging homilies, his humor, wit, and wisdom.  He was a man of great compassion with a love for the poor and the marginalized.  He loved being a parish priest and found great meaning and purpose in pastoring Our Lady of the Chesapeake.  He was the founding pastor of the Church of the Resurrection in Ellicott City.
