Conference Travel
Nearest Airport:
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). Visitors can travel from the airport to the seminary by taxi/ride share. Alternatively, they can take the MARC train to Penn Station or the Light Rail to the Falls Road stop and then take transit, ride share, or taxi the rest of the way.​
​
Nearest Train Station:
Penn Station, 1500 North Charles Street. Serves both Amtrak and MARC trains. The 95 bus can take you from the station to St. Mary's. Alternatively, you can take a short trip via taxi or ride share to the seminary.
​
Parking:
There is ample parking onsite in front of the main building.

Other travel options:
Some travelers might want to explore the option of flying into one of the two Washington, D.C. airports. From there, one could either rent a car or take the train to Baltimore. Flying directly to Baltimore will, of course, be the easiest travel option.
