Cathedral of Mary Our Queen — Attraction in Baltimore

Surprisingly unwelcoming. Tried to become a member but it was made clear I must financially support via giving online as they “take the cost” of giving envelops to be mailed. This was not mentioned on the “application” to become a member - so I had written no. This seemed to be the biggest issue in me becoming a member - money. This turned me off entirely.

After Mass the baptism was in an alcove in the back of the church. It was a very nice, intimate service. I am thinking of making the Cathedral my...
