Holy Angels Parish History - The Beginnings...

Bishop Joseph Galante formally announced today that the parishes of St. Patrick, Woodbury, Most Holy Redeemer, Westville Grove and St. Matthew, National Park will unite and the new parish resulting from the consolidation, Holy Angels Parish, will be established April 21, 2010.

The announcement establishing the new parish was made in a formal decree, which is published in the March 19 2010 edition of the Catholic Star Herald.

The decree states that consolidating the individual communities and uniting them as one new parish is necessary to provide more effectively for the pastoral needs of the faithful, to assure the vitality of parish life, to provide for a better stewardship of resources, and to provide for the optimum use of clergy, religious and lay personnel.

Reverend Monsignor Joseph V, DiMauro, who has overseen the consolidation as Priest Convener, has been named pastor of the new parish for a six year term.
