Historic Baltimore Church To Have New Owners
BALTIMORE, Md. (AP) -- The Archdiocese of Baltimore is preparing to sell the second-oldest Catholic church in Baltimore.
The Baltimore Sun reports that sculptures have been removed from St. Peter the Apostle Church, and the marble baptismal font and pews are for sale. The sale price was not disclosed, but the building will soon be home to Carter Memorial Church of God in Christ.
St. Peter's closed in 2004, though funerals, weddings and other occasional celebrations are still held at the 170-year-old church. The church's congregation consolidated with two other parishes amid declining church attendance.
