Last Saturday, we tagged along on the Southeast Baltimore Christmas Church Tour for a glimpse inside seven of the city's oldest immigrant Catholic churches. Organized by the parish communities, with Christmas decorations still in full swing, we also picked up a little local history.
These photos were shot by Anthony Monczewski, 70, also along for the tour. A retired Department of Defense employee, Mr. Monczewski is the grandson of a Polish immigrant butcher and grew up in Fells Point near Holy Rosary Church in the neighborhood once known as "Little Poland."
