List of final parish alignment for Seek the City to Come

The Seek the City to Come plan announced May 22 realigns Catholic parishes throughout Baltimore City and some nearby communities in Baltimore County. Pastoral leadership for each location will be determined in the future. For now, the new parishes will take on the name of the church where it is sited, but the parishioners of the newly formed entity can eventually petition to change that name.
