Channel 3 Covers Us!

Excellent coverage (scroll down for link!). Apparently KYW3 (CBS) contacted the Council of Parishes and St. Mary's Malaga in connection to the new multi, multi-million dollar high school the bishop wishes to build. The news media--with no help from us--is making the connection between church closures and big spending. Seems like we hardly have to contact them anymore; they've begun coming to us, and there is no shortage of stories. Since there is obviously a widespread interest in the diocesan mess, the media are wise to print and air these stories.

We are grateful to the reporters who are presenting our side of the story and are truly striving for an objective representation of the situation. We believe an objective point-of-view clearly reveals the injustice and horror that is being perpetrated. Thanks are certainly in order for CBS, ABC, Fox, The Courier Post, The Press of Atlantic City, The New York Times, The Gloucester County Times, and others for refusing to settle for a one-sided view of the predicament as it is presented by diocesan officials.

In this video, the holiness of our dear pastor, Fr. Romanowski, comes through as always, as does the smugness of a less-than-sympathetic Bishop Galante. Boy, Galante just makes himself look worse and worse on his own since his attitude is so poor. On one hand, what a shame this whole thing is happening. Yet on the other hand, as it was pointed out to me last night by a friend, it is our privilege to defend the Church and the Truth. She's right. In the struggle we hope to grow closer to Our Lord.

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
