This is news from the summer. If anyone has updates please send them in. Here again, the Catholic faithful are being railroaded, steamrolled, and otherwise dispensed with. Shame.

Just another piece of information concerning the merger of Our Lady of Grace (Somerdale), St. Luke (Stratford), St. Lawrence (Lindenwold).

 

At a town meeting at OLG parish last Wednesday, our convenyer showed a map of the newly merged parish...a parishioner questioned why a big section of the current Our Lady of Graces parish was not included on the map in the new boundaries. This would be the Gloucester Township section (developments:  Broadmoor, Ballantree, Autumn Ridge, Somer Hill, Stonegate, Eyer's Place).  Our conveyner said These developments were not included in the merger even though they are currently in Our Lady of Grace parish and have been for years.

 

No one has yet to tell these families about this officially and which parish they are assigned. Though one priest unofficially did say that those developments on one side of Somerdale Road belongs to St. Theresa and the other side belongs to St. Agnes.

 

Not only were developments excluded from the merger but they even split which existing parishes they belong to - no parishioner was informed of this decision. 

 

Our conveyner did say anyone was welcome to join St. Lawrence (whoOLG, St Luke's are being merged with))

 

Again no communication at all form anyone about it.
