As a pilgrim turns into the holy ground of 12290 Folly Quarter Rd and begins to drive the winding road to the top of the hill where the Shrine of St. Anthony is located, one can't help but be awed at the artistry and magnificent architecture of this 70 year old late Italian Renaissance building.

The rich history of relationships surrounding the property on which the Shrine of St. Anthony sits extends all the way back to the founding of the colony of Maryland.  As the friars of the Shrine of St. Anthony continue their ministry today, the story of the Church in America continues in the 21st century.
