St. Ann's Westville

Quote:
I started a petition drive for St. Anne's Church in Westville that collected more than 800 signatures. I personally delivered these petitions myself to the Bishops office. Of course I was met before I could approach by security.

Check out the entry from the blog "Cleary's Notebook," written by a parishioner, Ken Edwards, at St. Ann's Westville. He calls on us to withhold financial contributions to the diocese. We wholeheartedly concur and we're aware of many, many other Catholics in the diocese who feel similarly. Mr. Edwards and his parish received a two-sentence letter in response to their petition. Congratulations! You are officially a "nuisance" to the diocese if they've sent you so curt a letter. That means you are doing the right thing, St. Ann's. God bless your efforts and keep up the good work. Keep the Faith!


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
