Through Jeff's Lens: The Baltimore Basilica

While passing through Baltimore, the Dachowskis paid a visit to the Baltimore Basilica- both a national historic monument and the first cathedral in America.

For all the history and architecture buffs out there, the Basilica was built from 1806-1821 and has hosted visitors such as Pope John Paul II and Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. It stands as the first cathedral in America.


Jeff and Carolle visited the Basilica the day Carolle's brother was named Archbishop of Quebec . . . Jeff remarked that the visit was especially moving on such a momentous morning.

Wow, that is a beatiful picture! What an honor to be the sister, Carolle, of Archbishop! Nice! Sorry I missed you guys in Illinois! Glad you met my daughter. :)
