For a "process" that's supposed to be so open and transparent, one has to wonder, why so super secret? Who knows. Anyhow, instead of picketing, we (the Council of Parishes of Southern NJ) decided to send our regards with this cake. (Ignore the date at the bottom of the photo!) Picketing is fine, but variety is certainly a good thing. As you can see, the cake sports the front of the New York Post article in sugary frosting and also includes teeny tiny little picket signs in miniature. To see what the actual, larger versions of many of these signs, you can click here.

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
