Sacred Heart of Jesus - Baltimore, MD - Doorways of the World on Waymarking.com

Taken from the NRHP nomination form, "The original German settlers were largely Roman Catholic. To attend mass, they had to walk about a mile and half to St. Michael's Church and School on Lombard and Wolfe (in Fells Point). In 1870, they petitioned for a church in their own neighborhood. In 1873, the Redemptorists bought three acres of land on the abandoned site of Fort Marshall. Before construction began, the hill that had given "Highland Town" its name was leveled. The church was called Sacred Heart of Jesus Roman Catholic Church (located just south of the district, at Foster Street and Highland Avenue). Italians and other Catholic immigrants also attended services at Sacred Heart until they managed to build churches of their own. "[W]e couldn't afford the carfare to go to St. Luke and St. Leo's down in Little Italy," resident Grace DiMartino recalled, "We used to go to the German church. And that's a beautiful church."56"
