The Catholic Community of St. Mary’s in Gloucester City celebrated the priesthood of Monsignor James P. Curran and Reverend Stephen Chellan on October 25.
On that day all parishes in the Diocese of Camden and throughout the nation were called to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood.
St. Mary’s parishioners, with the guidance and coordination of Sister Christine Hartnett, O.P., de-veloped their own special way of honoring their priests. Gospel readings, prayers, and hymns like \”Here I Am, Lord\” were selected to mark that day.
St. Mary School children created colorful posters and class Spiritual Bouquets to enhance the interior of the church. Families created their own Spiritual Bouquets consisting of prayers and acts of charity offered for the priests and their intentions.
