We are also voting for local candidates who have supported us with keeping our local Catholic churches open. And we pray that Bishop Galante will choose Life too and not close down a… Continue

Our Catholic Churches are monuments to those early Catholics who faced severe religious persecution; even during the time when most of these parishes and churches were being built.

It's a "disgrace" to God to close our Catholic Churches and schools down forever. It is a "disgrace" to remove the holy Catholic Mass and Eucharist out of our towns. It is a "disgrace" persecute those who don't agree with the Bishop's anti-Catholic plans. Now is the time when we need our faith in God and our churches.

I write this in memory of John and Anna Byrnes and Samuel and Marie (Muldoon) Rossiter and many others who had faced and overcame severe religious persecution and now are in Heaven with God.

Our family always believed that praying the Rosary was the best weapon against anti-Catholicism.......

At 5:08pm on June 25, 2008, Kathy Creary said…: Msgr Kupka told me he got his information about our 2 parishes from Building God's Kingdom (which I already told you about) as well as The Catholic Church in New Jersey written by Joseph M. Flynn, M.R.V.F. in 1904. Unfortunately this book is out of print.
He also told me about Catholic Trails West-The Founding of Catholic Families of PA written by Edmund Adams and Barbara Brady O'Keefe in 1988.
I found a copy of the book on Amazon.com and ordered it. Unfortunately it has nothing but 341 pages of names of marriages/baptisms performed at St. Joe's in Philadelphia.
I did some internet checking and if you go to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~reinsel/okeefe/ffarmer.html
you will find 46 pages of Father Farmer's marriage registers from 1748-1786 at St. Joseph's
Again, this list is by name only but I was able to verify
Sebastian Woas' marriage (from our Shane's Castle)
I also found another book in the library God's Vine in This Wilderness - Religion in South Jersey to 1800
written by R. Craig Koedel and published by the Gloucester County Historical Society in 1980.
I made copies for you and me of the pages we need and will send them to you if you want.
Just need your home address. My e-mail is:
