I absolutely love the Shrine of the Sacred Heart, which is tucked away in the community of Mt. Washington, MD. The church itself is very old, very wooden, and on the small side. The priest, deacon, and parishioners are all very friendly. Music is almost always beautiful, and the cantors are quite talented. They also have a rather active young adult faith group for the surrounding community. If I still lived in Baltimore, this would be my parish. I think my favorite part of this parish is that people still dress up for Mass here; although suit and tie aren't required, I love seeing parents take the time to dress their children up a little before church on Sunday.
