The church I'm looking for has stained glass windows dedicated to Francis Scott key. I cannot seem to find it.
I visited years ago when I was young.
I believe it's either in lower Charles or St Mary's counties.I believe it was an Episcopal church but it's possible that it was a Catholic Church. No one seems to know where this church is. It may also have had an unusual staircase in the middle of the church. In any case most of the stained glass was dedicated to Francis Scott key. For me, it has great historical significance.
It is not to be confused with his uncle also named Key, who was apart of the Chaptico church.
Thank you for info!

This is not what you're specifically looking for but nonetheless pretty cool:

Christ Episcopal Church​
Christ Episcopal Church located off of Route 238 at Chaptico, Maryland, was completed in 1763. The tower was added to the original, traditional rectangular building. after the colonial period. This church features a semi-circular chancel, arched ceiling, crowned columns and boxed pews.

The edifice was damaged during the War of 1812 when British troops vandalized Chaptico Village, dug up the graves in the churchyard, and stabled their horses inside the church.

Members of Francis Scott Key's family (the author of the national anthem) are buried in the churchyard.

Ok thank you anyway, it's close but that's not it.
I do appreciate the history there as well. Which I may use in the future.
But for now, my main emphasis is the church that has stained Glass dedicated solely to Francis Scott Key. He was not from this area but was from Frederick Maryland. This series of stained glass recognized his contribution to the country.🇺🇸

You better find it quickly! At the rate we’re going, the Dems will determine he knew people that owned slaves. You know what happens next

Yes thank you, I've even thought about that. But they're wrong on every account. They don't understand the history behind that whole scenario. Francis Scott Key was a good man in all aspects. In spite of the disdain of other people like lawyers in his profession, he defended in court, slaves and free blacks at his own cost, his out-of-pocket funds.For years he tried to put together a coalition that would end the slavery issue through practical means and provide an answer for everyone. Even though the coalition did not succeed he still decided to release the slaves he received from his father in 1817 three years after the war of 1812 finished.
So all can be proud to have him as author of our one and only national anthem! And I'll be glad to debate that at anytime and anywhere with anybody.
Thank you for your reply and I appreciate your comments! We all need to be in prayer especially at this time in our history. No matter how hard they try they will never succeed in this: history is still history and it will always be history no matter what somebody else or how they try to change it.

FSK’s musical talents are way overrated. Here is what our national anthem should be, based solely on it being a superior and more moving piece of music:

This too would be an improvement:
