The announcement establishing the new parish was made in a formal decree, which was published in the May 7 edition of the Catholic Star Herald, the diocesan newspaper.

It is the fifteenth decree issued by Bishop Joseph Galante in diocesan-wide reconfiguration of parishes announced two years ago to strengthen parishes and improve pastoral care to the people of the diocese.

Father Hugh J. Bradley, Priest Convener for the consolidation, has been named pastor of the new parish for a six year term.

Emmaus Catholic Community, whose boundaries will be those of the existing parishes, will serve about 1,700 families. The seat of the parish will be Sacred Heart Church.

The existing parishes are just 1.5 miles apart. Originally a mission of St. Rose of Lima, Haddon

Elizabeth and her family were the owners of Flacco’s Candy Store in Camden.

Donations raised thus far surpass $1,045,000 and more than 922,000 fans were reached across the nation. Over 22 schools broke attendance records through participation in the WBCA Pink Zone.

\”What an inspiring month February was as pink splashed arenas across the nation with over 1,800 teams and supporters participating in the WBCA Pink Zone,\” said WBCA CEO Beth Bass. \”Our coaches are truly compassionate about this cause, and it gives them a chance to put their competitive nature to good use as we all unite in the fight against breast cancer. Thank you to everyone who is continuing to make a difference!\”

The WBCA’s charity of choice is the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund®, in partnership with The V Foundation for Cancer Research. All participants in the WBCA Pink Zone are encouraged to send donations to the Fund.

Whereas the departments of the City of Gloucester have engaged in questionable methods of law and ordinance enforcement,

Whereas the current administration has formed numerous committees and hired special assistants to serve its interests,

And whereas the current administration remains largely silent when the general public has raised issues of community interest or concern that are not of interest to the administration,

There appears to be a need for an Ombudsman Committee to represent those members of the community that feel oppressed or disenfranchised by the functioning of the current administration and its departments.

Such a committee should be comprised of citizens who are willing to work for the resolution of community concerns and disputes. Members of an Ombudsman Committee should be willing to meet and discuss in a public forum the concerns and or complaints of all citizens regardless of status or political affiliation. Members of an Ombudsman Committee should be willing and able to bring community concerns and or complaints to the appropriate department heads or administrative committees and then publicly announce the resolutions it was able to achieve.

Here is a Poll Question I like to submit:

Should the citizens of Gloucester City form an Ombudsman Committee? See poll ballot above right hand column.
