Archbishop Chaput said, \”I am so grateful to the Holy Father that he has chosen Philadelphia and excited that we will host the 2015 World Meeting of Families. It\’s fitting that this gathering, which celebrates the cornerstone of society, will take place in America\’s cradle of freedom. The Holy Father\’s choice is a gift to the local Church in Philadelphia and to the whole nation. 

The family is founded on a deep and loving union between one man and one woman for mutual support and the nurturing of children. This meeting in Philadelphia will be a wonderful opportunity to highlight the family as the basic evangelizing unit of the Church. Every effort to promote marriage and the family serves not only the Church, but also the common good.\” 

Since its inception by Blessed John Paul II in 1992, the World Meeting of Families has sought to strengthen and defend the sacred bonds of marriage and family across the globe. It is customarily attended by the Holy Father, takes place every three years and is sponsored by the Holy See\’s Pontifical Council for the Family. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia eagerly anticipates hosting this significant event and continuing the good work done at the meeting this year in Milan.

In 1939, John Chamberlin began forming the Sea Scouts in Gloucester City. My father also took interest, by going to Mr. Chad Chesseman of Water Street. Mr. Cheeseman had previously built a river tow boat for my Dad, as a gift to my brother James. 

Without using works to describe a river row boat and one that should not be on the river compared to the boat pictured with two men in it and what appears to be a skiff, a man standing poling it along. A dangerous boat on the river I can say the boat with the two men in it is Chad Cheeseman river row boat. It is similar to ours only smaller. 

In 1940, John Chamberlin asked the man whom builds the memorial flower boats of the Sea Scout could row the memorial boat to med stream and release it. The gentleman agreed because the tide was receding. 

The four Sea Scouts who towed this beautiful adorned craft to midstream, as the band on the shore played Anchors Aweigh. At the oars were Ott Helm, Harry Chamberlin, Johns brothers Jimmy Hoyle and John Taylor. 

The Sea Scout could not find a Gloucester organization to back us as required by the Sea Scout headquarters, I believe in Boston. We disbanded. Gave our uniforms to Hurleys scout manager of sales to be given to another city where Sea Scouts were thriving.
