The Archdiocese of Baltimore has released its final plan to close and merge dozens of churches as part of the 'Seek the City to Come' initiative. Announced on Wednesday, the final plan will cut the number of parishes in Baltimore from 61 to 23, consolidating them into 30 worship and ministry sites. The decision comes in response to declining attendance and aging infrastructure. The realignment will affect churches across the city and parts of Baltimore County, including some with significant historical and community value.
