pastoral and temporal resources effectively with current and future pastoral, spiritual and evangelization needs.
To RE-ENGAGE
and attend to the pastoral and evangelization needs of historical and diverse communities and generations.

Our Eucharistic Vision for the City Church of Baltimore
Seek the City’s Guiding Questions
Seek the City to Come will allow us to prayerfully discern and envision our future, as we thoughtfully and prayerfully answer important questions:
Why Are We Doing This Now?
We recognize that the Church of today is not the same as it was 75 years ago. We have been working to understand what our parishes, ministries and institutions require to thrive in the present day. We have a great treasure of Catholic institutions from previous generations, but as the Catholic population and society have shifted over the past several decades, they are no longer as effective or sustainable as they once were.
