Reinterment Ceremony for Early Marylanders
On September 20, 2025, a procession was held to bring the remains of eight young children from colonial-era Maryland to their final resting place.
The ceremony began at the reconstructed State House of 1676 in Historic St. Mary’s City and ended at the rebuilt 1667 Brick Chapel, a distance of about half a mile.
The remains were transported in a pine coffin borne by a hearse pulled by two majestic Clydesdale horses.
Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori presided over the reinterment rite, which marked the return of the remains to the site where they were originally buried.
The remains were initially removed in the 1990s to prevent damage during the chapel's reconstruction, and were now being reinterred alongside the skeletal remains of 65 other early Marylanders.
The rebuilt 1667 Brick Chapel is believed to be the first permanent Catholic church building in the English colonies.
