ATCO NJ–Nestled in the Atco section of Waterford Township in the lower part of Camden County is the merged parish of Christ the Redeemer. It has nearly 2,800 parishioners.
Moving to Atco opened my eyes to the displacement many Catholics experienced through the long merger process. The Atco community and Assumption Church were not new to me. I worked in town for more than 10 years and I was married in Assumption Church. I know a lot of townspeople and parishioners and they shared their feelings and personal stories regarding the merger process.
