The parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel dates back to 1855. When the Volga German families that settled in the Loctus Point neighborhood arrived, most attended the parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel.
In 2002, the three parishes of Holy Cross, St. Mary, Star of the Sea, and Our Lady of Good Counsel formed the Catholic Community of South Baltimore, though each still a separate canonical parish.
