Archdiocese of Baltimore plans mass church closures as part of Citywide merger plan

It's part of an ongoing proposal the church calls "The Seek the City to Come."
Under the plan, dozens of active houses of worship would close and be merged with others before being divided into geographic sections throughout Baltimore City and County.
Eventually the goal is to condense the number of parishes from 61 to 21.
According to the Archdiocese attendance for mass has continually dropped, so much that there are now more funerals being held at area Catholic churches than baptisms.
