Last chance to catch Royal Masque’s original production, Our Time. This show, written by Director Chris Seifert, is an instant classic. The cast has put it all on the line in this funny and heartbreaking drama about the last 14 months on Royal Avenue. Come see this tremendous cast and crew. Tickets available online only on the school’s website.

Final preparations! Less than one hour until the curtain rises on Our Time.

Hear ye, Hear ye! Check out this sneak peak of tomorrow’s world premiere of the original production by the Bishop McDevitt Royal Masque, appropriately titled, Our Time. These Lancers have worked tirelessly creating and crafting a work of art that is symbolic of the history and legacy of the school and the theater department. Remember to visit the school webpage to order tickets in advance as they will not be available at the door.

On Friday May 7th and Saturday May 8th, the 2021 Royal Masque Theater Department hits the stage after missing a year due to the pandemic. These young people have demonstrated resilience beyond their years in patiently waiting and preparing for this moment. We hope you join us as we enjoy the world premiere of an original production created by Director Chris Seifert and his Royal Masque cast. Our Time is the symbolic curtain call of this storied program in McDevitt history. Please purchase your tickets on the school’s webpage, as tickets will not be available at the door.

ST. JOHN NEUMANN St. John Neumann (1811-1860) was born in Bohemia in what is now the Czech Republic. He entered the seminary, and when the day came for his ordination to the priesthood, his bishop fell ill and couldn't proceed with the ceremony. However, because Bohemia had an over-abundance of priests, John's ordination was never rescheduled. Undeterred in pursuing his priestly vocation, John decided to go to America to seek ordination. He came to the United States in 1836 ...as a missionary priest to serve America's European immigrant population. He was ordained in New York, joined the Redemptorists, and was later consecrated a bishop. He is famous for knowing twelve languages and for being the first American man and American bishop to be canonized. St. John Neumann left his impact on the United States by building a vast number of churches, schools, hospitals, and orphanages. The number of parochial school students greatly increased in his diocese. St. John Neumann had a strong effect on the religious life of the laity in the United States, especially in his promotion of devotion to the Holy Eucharist. His feast day is January 5th.

May Mary, our Heavenly Mother, and School Patroness guide us and pray for us as we begin 2021!
