PRAYER FOR THE 2019 CONVOCATION OF CATHOLIC LEADERS: JOY OF THE GOSPEL IN SOUTH JERSEY 
O Holy Spirit, you who first enkindled in our hearts the joy of the Gospel, renew that same joy  in those who will gather to attend the Convocation of Catholic Leaders: Joy of the Gospel in South Jersey. 

Continue to enflame the hearts of our bishop, priests, and their parish delegations; all clergy, religious, and speakers;  all who make this event possible.  Move us to welcome the word of life in the depths of our hearts   and respond to the call of missionary discipleship.   

​O Holy Spirit; transform our hearts and enable us to enter into the perfect communion that you share with the Father and the Son. Mary Immaculate, who first received the Gospel, pray for us. Amen

Continúa enardeciendo los corazones de nuestros obispos, sacerdotes y sus delegaciones parroquiales; a todos los clérigos, religiosos y oradores; y a todos los que hacen posible este evento.Muévenos a dar la acogida a la palabra de vida en lo más profundo de nuestros corazones y a responder al llamado del discipulado misionero. 
​
Oh Espíritu Santo; transforma nuestros corazones y permítenos entrar en la perfecta comunión que compartes con el Padre y el Hijo.  María Inmaculada, tú que recibiste el Evangelio por primera vez, ruega por nosotros. Amén 

Catholic Strong

The Catholic history of South Jersey began
when a fervent missionary, Father Theodore Schneider, left the comfort of Old Saint Joseph Church in Philadelphia to plant the seeds of faith in missionary soil. The first South Jersey Catholic mission was established in 1740 for four families in Salem County who worked at the glassworks and lived nearby.  Jesuits, Redemptorists, Augustinians and diocesan clergy from Philadelphia soon followed,  traveling across South Jersey  on foot or horseback, crossing streams, rivers, and forests with only a sack slung over their shoulder, to bring the Catholic message to these New World colonists.

It took another 90 years before the first church was built in Pleasant Mills , Atlantic County snd 19 more before the first parish was established in Gloucester City. Nearly 200 years after Father Schneider crossed into South Jersey, the Diocese of Camden was established in 1937 for the people of the six southern-most counties of New Jersey, a region spanning almost 2,700 square miles.

The Diocese of Camden has changed tremendously over the course of its 80 years in service to the people of South Jersey. Adjusting to changes affecting the Catholic Church throughout the Northeastern United States, the diocese undertook an extensive parish restructuring process in 2008 in an effort to consolidate resources and create more dynamic parish communities.

In recent years, Bishop Sullivan has actively engaged the lay faithful and clergy in promoting the wellbeing of our parishes and the diocese. By frequently visiting parishes,  schools, and other institutions, he has made clear his vision of supporting his priests, increasing priestly vocations, encouraging youth and young adult formation, and providing a quality religious education, especially through our Catholic Schools.

Now, midway through the second decade of the 21st century, it is time for this generation of Catholics to make their mark on the history of the diocese. The Campaign for the Catholic Community of South Jersey, titled Catholic Strong, is seeking to secure a minimum of $50 million, which will primarily benefit our local parishes. Seventy percent of the funds raised through this effort will be allocated for parish needs as determined locally and 30 percent will fund the diocese's coordination and support of various ministries.

Our Parish History & Plan

Strong Parishes
$35 million

The parish is the heart of the Church and the center of Catholic life. It is there that we are formed in the faith and encounter the mercy and love of God through the sacraments and the community. That is why the primary goal of this campaign is to provide the necessary resources that will strengthen our parishes and their ministries.

Seventy percent of the funds raised at each parish will remain at that parish in order to address local needs. These funds will provide each parish the ability to grow ministries, increase evangelization efforts, complete capital improvements, reduce debt, and focus on other critical concerns.
​

Because each parish is unique, parishes will determine for themselves how best to utilize their share of the funds raised. Parishioners are encouraged to take an active part in the campaign at the local level and fully support the mission of their parish.
