UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) Catholic Retrievers strives to radiate Christ & the beauty of the Catholic Church at UMBC.  This is a student-led organization on the campus of UMBC but heavily supported and guided by Ellen Vallonga, the Campus Minister, and Fr. Matt Himes, the Chaplain, both hired/appointed by the Archdiocese of Baltimore.  In this new chapter of Catholic Retrievers, there is so much happening!

We would love to share the good news about all that is happening especially in our bible studies, retreats, adoration, celebration of the sacraments regularly, etc. It does not end there as Ellen, Fr. Matt, and the Student Leadership team continue to dream big about the potential for Catholic Retrievers.  To sustain and grow our mission on campus, we need your support.
