To the Editor:
I\’m writing in regard to the planned closing of Most Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Church in Deptford Township. It\’s a very sad thing. It affects so many people young and old.
I was married in that church in 1960, so I have been there for quite awhile.
I don\’t believe that Diocese of Camden Bishop Joseph Galante thought through the closing of this church very thoroughly. First, St. Patrick\’s Church in Woodbury (into which Most Holy Reedemer and St. Matthew\’s Church in National Park are to be merged) doesn\’t have sufficient parking spaces to accommodate three parishes.
The steps in front of St. Patrick\’s are very steep. The school there was closed for lack of students. They were sent, with the St. Matthew\’s students, to a combined school that now operates at the Holy Redeemer site.
