 Nation's oldest Catholic cathedral |
408 North Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21201 United States +1 410 727 3565 http://www.baltimorebasilica.org |
Considered one of the finest examples of Neoclassical architecture, the Baltimore Basilica is the nation's oldest Catholic cathedral. Begun in 1806 and completed in 1821, the cathedral was designed by Benjamin Latrobe, architect of the U.S. Capitol. With its six Corinthian columns fronting a grand portico, the cathedral resembles a Greek temple. Nine stained-glass windows fill the massive interior with light. Visitors in recent years have included Pope John Paul II and the late Mother Theresa. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This beautiful church is named after George Brown, a local merchant. In 1869, his widow donated the money for the church's construction. Over a hundred years later, the congregation is more active than ever. The Brown Memorial Park Avenue Presbyterian Church is committed to its members of all ethnicities, viewpoints and ages and is also dedicated to making a positive impact on the City of Baltimore.

Perpetual Novena Services |
512 West Saratoga Street Baltimore, MD United States +1 410 685 6026 http://www.stjudeshrine.org/ info@stjudeshrine.org |
Entrusted to the Pallottine Priests and Brothers by the Archbishop of Baltimore in 1917, the St. Jude Shrine is the center of St. Jude Devotions in the United States. St. Jude Thaddeus has been dubbed "The Forgotten Saint" due to the actions of Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus. Unlike Judas Iscariot, St. Jude Thaddeus died a martyr and his remains are in the great basilica of St. Peter in Rome. He is considered the patron saint for those in dire need. After an increase of St. Jude Devotions following WWII, the Pallottines established regular novena services to honor the saint which take place every Wed. The popularity of the shrine has skyrocketed, attracting both local and nationwide parishioners. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautiful place of worship |
217 North Carey Street Baltimore, MD 21223 United States +1 410 523 6272 http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/trave... nr_travel@nps.gov |
At the behest of the Ecclesiological Society, St. Lukes Church was established in the year 1857. You'll find the influence of Gothic architecture in the structure, as the society believed that worship was conducive only in such an environment. The first service began in November 1853. Since then this place has continued to be the venue for Episcopal meetings. If not, the service people do come to admire the beautiful features such as the tower, lancet and rose windows, buttresses and quatrefoil tracery. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good ol' church |
120 North Front Street Baltimore, MD 21202 United States +1 410 962 5078 |
Established in the year 1841, this Georgian-style church attracts the pious as well as the tourists. Its significance lies in the fact that it is the oldest Catholic Church in Baltimore. This neo-classical structure was originally built with red bricks but then was painted white to give that finished effect. The interiors have been through a series of renovations, the exteriors, however, have remained the same since centuries. Don't forget to tour around after mass hours. Review © 2007, Wcities |
