Subject: [Chat] Re: [Discussion] Baltimore Mariner's Church 

The person who immediately comes to mind is one of the older Jesuit fellows
who lives in 3048 Guilford, but I'll have to search my notes to find his
name. He works with seamen from all over the world, who have shore leaves in
Baltimore. Also, the van that he drives has a symbol on it that includes an
anchor.

Would this type of ministry be related?
