FYI, but I am sure you already know this info Do you know why it says "First Roman Catholic Church in (present) Baltimore County founded" BECAUSE Baltimore County once included Harford County. So St. Ignatius in Hickory is older.

And don't forget "Priest Neale's Mass House," which is also in Harford and predates them both.
