CAMDEN -Bishop Galante formally announced the establishment of the Parish of St. Maximilian Kolbe, formed through the consolidation of the Church of the Resurrection, Marmora, and St. Casimir, Woodbine, and its mission, St. Elizabeth, Goshen, effective Dec. 14.
The announcement establishing the new parish was made in a formal decree, which is published in the Nov. 11 issue of the Catholic Star Herald (pages 18-19).
This is the 39th decree issued by Bishop Galante in a diocesan-wide reconfiguration of parishes to strengthen parishes and improve pastoral care to Catholics in the diocese. The reconfigurations are a result of more than a year of study by parish and deanery planners, who considered population and demographic trends, the number of diocesan priests available for ministry, Mass attendance and trends in religious practice.
Msgr. Peter Joyce has been named pastor of the Parish of St. Maximilian Kolbe for a six-year term.
Church of the Resurrection will be the seat of the new parish, serving the pastoral needs of 2,200 households in Cape May and Cumberland counties. St. Casimir and St. Elizabeth will be maintained as worship sites.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
