St. Mary's Historic Site on Paca Street in Baltimore, MD is a unique destination that holds significant historical and spiritual importance. Home to the Mother Seton House and the Historic Seminary Chapel, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the site offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of the Catholic Church in the United States. The chapel, designed by renowned architect Maximilian Godefroy, attracts architectural enthusiasts and pilgrims alike. The site also serves as a spiritual center, providing contemporary ministry and a place for reflection. Founded in 1791 as the first Roman Catholic Seminary in the United States, St. Mary's Historic Site holds a special place in the history of the Catholic Church. The seminary, initially located in a building known as the One Mile Tavern, expanded over the years to include St. Mary's College and Seminary. Today, the only remaining structure of the seminary is the Historic Chapel, while the Mother Seton House stands as a testament to the life and legacy of Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, the first U.S.-born canonized saint within the Catholic Church. St. Mary's Historic Site offers a unique blend of history, spirituality, and architectural beauty.Generated from the website
