Hic Sum means "Here I Am" in Latin. Taken from 1 Samuel 3:4, it is a calling to young people to discover the real meaning of discipleship. We are a teen-run high school Catholic youth group in Severna Park devoted to creating a place where Catholic youth can come together to grow in faith, foster the flame of the Holy Spirit, and have fun.

St. John’s is pleased to announce a faith-based character development program for girls ages 5 to 18, dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country called American Heritage Girls (AHG).  AHG is for families with daughters who are seeking a faith-based, scout-type experience. With programming that puts an emphasis on faith, service, and fun, girls choose from more than 240 badges, participate in service projects, and are challenged by leadership opportunities and outdoor experiences. Troops are led by adult volunteers who facilitate the AHG Program while encouraging girl leadership. Families and daughters are invited to an informational meeting to learn more about AHG on Aug. 13 from 7 - 8p.m. in the Gathering Space Meeting Room. For questions and to RSVP, please contact Troop Coordinator Jeanette Sudano at jeanette.middleton@comcast.net.
