BALTIMORE — Churchgoers throughout Baltimore City and County are anxious.
Their locations of worship that they’ve recognized all of their lives could also be closing ceaselessly.
The plan to shut these chapels has been proposed as a result of attendance drops and the rising value of upkeep.
Although some of these buildings are closing, the church itself resides within the hearts of the individuals.
Congregations can be merged.
There can be neighborhood conferences/public boards held to debate proposed merger websites
One will occur this Thursday, April twenty fifth, at Archbishop Curly High School. This can be adopted by one other assembly on Tuesday, April thirtieth, that may happen at Our Lady of Victory.
Below is the listing of the proposed websites and mergers that can be mentioned at Archbishop Curley High School at 6:30 p.m.
