Putting Out A Call for Contributions!

Hear ye, hear ye, one and all! Please contribute any and all photos, stories, remembrances, etc. Comment right here on the blog, if you want. If you opt to send in photos through the regular mail, please know that they will be returned. Or else you can send them by email or link. Photos may be new or old, stories long or short, remembrances a sentence or two long or an entire article. It's totally up to you.

In addition to photos and stories, we really want videos, audio clips, old postcards and historical pictures (yes your own family pictures count as history!). ANYTHING at all.

What we are looking for are things that are very personal and reflect the history and culture of St. Mary's parish. Nothing is trivial.

Were you married at St. Mary's?
Did you have a relative's funeral or baptism at St. Mary's?
Do you remember your First Holy Communion at St. Mary's?
Like me, did you find St. Mary's as an adult?
Have you ever made a pivotal live decision at St. Mary's while at prayer?
Are you (or were you once) a member of a group at St. Mary's, like the Carmelites or the Holy Name Society?
Are you familiar with the Promoters of the Blessed Sacrament?
Have you grown closer to Our Lord because of St. Mary's?
Do you or have you taught CCD at St. Mary's?
Do you attend CCD classes at St. Mary's now? (Enlist the kids! Get them to write, too!)
Would you like to simply include a word of support for Father Romanowski or a testimony to his faithfulness?

What do you love about St. Mary's? Tell us about it. The survival of St. Mary's could depend upon YOU!

Email me with stories, to obtain my home address, or with questions. Alternately, items may be sent to St. Mary's. If you send photos to St. Mary's for the website, be sure and label them as such (include a note that says "for the website") so that the parish secretary and Father Romanowski know what to do with them.

Why Save St. Mary's?

What's true for OL Queen of Peace, Pitman & Assumption, Wildwood Crest is also true for St. Mary's Malaga:

"The people in Pitman bought that ground and built that church and it belongs to them. You can't just take it away."

-Anthony Mecca, Queen of Peace Parish, Pitman (also on the slate for closure), May 8, 2008

"This is God's house. Let us live here with God as we've done all these years."

-Fred Spiewak, Assumption Parish, Wildwood Crest, June 11, 2008
