About Archdiocese of Baltimore

Learn More About Archdiocese of Baltimore
The Archdiocese of Baltimore is a Roman Catholic metropolitan see in the United States, comprising the City of Baltimore and 9 of Maryland's 23 counties in the central and western portions of the state. The archdiocese is the metropolitan see of the larger regional Ecclesiastical Province of Baltimore. The Archdiocese of Baltimore is the oldest diocese in the United States whose see city was within the nation's boundaries when the United States declared its independence in 1776. The Holy See granted the Archbishop of Baltimore the right of precedence in the nation at liturgies, meetings, and councils on August 15, 1859. The Catholic Church has been active in Maryland since the first Catholics arrived at St. Clement's Island in 1634. The Archdiocese of Baltimore is the premier see of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. The see city was the site of the first cathedral of the Catholic Church in the United States, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was consecrated in 1821 and elevated to the rank of minor basilica in 1937. The Basilica, built in a restrained neoclassical style between 1806 and 1821, was the first cathedral to be constructed in the United States after the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. The cathedral, which was designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who also designed the United States Capitol, is considered among the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in the nation.
