Taken from the website, "George Calvert was granted a charter, in 1634 by King James I, to establish a colony in the new world. For the first four years all colonists shared a single chapel for worship. The first Trinity Church was built near Ridge, Maryland by about 1638. Four years later the wooden structure was moved to St. Mary's City. From 1695 onward, the old state house was used as the place of worship.
The earliest records of an Episcopal worshiping community in Ridge date from 1819. Parishioners may have worshiped in private homes or in a chapel at an unknown location, but it was not until 1884 that St. Mary's Chapel was built for St. Mary's Parish. St. Mary's Chapel is located in Ridge, a few miles north of Point Lookout State Park."
