The Anne Arundel County Trust for Preservation and St. John's College are pleased to present a much anticipated and truly special 2019 lecture series.   

 These lectures are free and open to the public and are held at the Francis Scott Key Auditorium at St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland. 

We hope you will join us!

-6:00 p.m. 

Historian Dr. Robert Worden's forthcoming book, "Soldiers of the Cross: Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos and the Catholic Community in Annapolis During the Civil War" goes into great detail about the impact of the war on Annapolis and specifically on the priests, brothers, seminarians, and parishioners of St. Mary's Church.  He will present "untold stories" about some heretofore obscure members of the Catholic community, including both free and enslaved African Americans, European immigrants, and long-time residents. Dr. Worden is the long-time archivist and historian of St. Mary's Parish.
