The Calverts, particularly Lord Baltimore, wanted more Catholics to settle in Maryland to establish a safe haven for Catholics facing persecution in England. By attracting Catholic settlers, they aimed to create a colony where religious freedom was prioritized, fostering a community that could practice their faith without fear. Additionally, an increase in population through Catholic settlers would aid in the economic and social development of the colony, ensuring its stability and growth.

The Calverts' dream of making Maryland a refuge for wealthy Catholics faced significant challenges, including political conflicts and religious tensions. While they initially succeeded in establishing a colony that offered religious freedom, the influx of Protestant settlers led to a shift in power dynamics. Over time, the colony experienced a decline in Catholic influence, ultimately compromising the original vision of Maryland as a Catholic stronghold. The dream transformed as the colony evolved into a more diverse and religiously pluralistic society.
