WILDWOOD - A small but persistent band of protesters follows Bishop Joseph A. Galante wherever he goes.

On Thursday, Galante, head of the Diocese of Camden, came to St. Ann's Church here to celebrate a Vigil Mass for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and then the procession to the ocean for the Wedding of the Sea.

The protesters took their places about a half-hour before the 7 p.m. Mass was to begin.

As worshippers arrived, the group of five quietly stood outside the church holding signs expressing their opinions about Galante.
