Quote:
I, like many others, am skeptical of the motivations behind the bishop's plan to merge our churches and close many in Salem County. St. Joseph's Parish Center in Woodstown was dedicated in 2005 at an estimated cost of $500,000, plus the value of the acreage purchased. This center was built to accommodate all the needs of our church.

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

"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
