Guide to Maryland Religious Institutions
http://speccol.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/speccol/catalog/religion/cfm/index.cfm
Since the establishment of the Hall of Records in 1935, the Maryland State Archives has been aware of the importance of church and synagogue records as a significant primary source for historians and genealogists. Since systematic recording of vital records was not established until 1875 for Baltimore City and 1898 for Maryland counties, religious records are often the only source for birth and death information.
Patterned after the Guide to Maryland Newspapers, the Directory of Maryland Religious Institutions Featuring the Religious Records Collections of the Maryland State Archives is an attempt to identify religious organizations across the state in order to assist researchers in identifying the location of churches and synagogues that might be relevant to their research. Entries in the guide are based upon materials already in the custody of the Maryland State Archives and on the Historical Records Survey of Churches compiled in 1935-1941 by the Works Progress Administration (MSA S 1512). Additional entries were compiled from atlases and directories.

The monastery was founded in 1790 by four Carmelite nuns. It was the first monastery of religious women in Colonial America. The monastery is still the active home of the discalced Carmelite Nuns of the Carmel of Port Tobacco. The Carmelite life is a call to prayer, tempered with hard work and shared community. As there is a great need in the Church for both Marys and Marthas, the Carmelite is called to be that Mary--serving the Church by prayerfully sitting at the feet of our Lord. She is the intercessor in an age that cries out for intercession.
The public is invited to visit the monastery. The grounds and the church are open to all. Mass is held daily at 7:15 a.m. in the red brick church. There is also a gift shop that is filled with religious and informational items as well as objects that are hand-crafted by several of the nuns. The nuns rely solely on the generosity of the public for their survival. The gift shop is one source of revenue for them. The shop is often not staffed and works on the honor system. So, be sure to bring plenty of small bills or you can also write a personal check.
The nuns spend most of their day sequestered so that they can tend to their primary mission of prayer and intercession. They are happy to receive prayer requests. You can use the on-line contact link or write to them at the address provided. When visiting the Monastery, you may leave items or communications for the nuns via a turnstile that is located inside the building.

22188 Three Notch Rd, Lexington Park, MD Next to the Museum. 22188 Three Notch Rd, Lexington Park, MD (Next to the Museum, outside Gate 1). The Weight Loss Surgery Support Groups up the road give out a lot of information, but not necessarily afford time for mutual support discussion. Some of us would enjoy face-to-face discussion concerning the multitude of aspects we deal with in our new lifestyle commitment and changes. The intention of this group is to be a constant resource to mutually support each other. Everyone is encouraged to come that has been involved or is considering gastric bypass surgery (and anyone interested in their welfare). There will be no true leader. We will all contribute and gain from the group. We need the "seasoned" as well as the "newbees". You don't have to come every week. This is to be an Oasis and a place where we can meet our own and others needs without our "old crutch". http://www.obesityhelp.com/ Please call Dr. Janet Gill, PhD EE, 301-994-3033 with any questions.
