The Catholic Historical Society of Washington was founded in 1976 to preserve and promote awareness of Catholic history in the Archdiocese of Washington. The Archdiocese includes the city of Washington, DC and five surrounding Maryland counties: Montgomery, Prince George's, Charles, Calvert, and St. Mary's counties. The society sponsors four lectures each year, a quarterly newsletter and occasional tours of historic Catholic sites. Annual dues are $20.
