Descendants of Early Marylanders Participate in Ceremony
On September 20, 2025, a ceremony was held to bring home the remains of pioneer colonists from colonial-era Maryland.
A procession, approximately one-half mile long, took place from the reconstructed State House of 1676 in Historic St. Mary's City to the rebuilt 1667 Brick Chapel.
The remains of eight young children were transported in a pine coffin on a hearse pulled by two majestic Clydesdale horses.
Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori presided over the reinterment rite at the Brick Chapel, which is believed to be the first permanent Catholic church building in the English colonies.
The remains were initially removed in the 1990s to prevent damage during the chapel's reconstruction and were being returned to their original site, where the skeletal remains of 65 early Marylanders were also found.
