Catholic Parish”

More Christmas Thanks:

+ My thanks to all who sent Family Christmas Photo’s, Christmas greeting cards, homemade cookies, breads, or candies! They were enjoyed and shared!

+ Our Parish gratitude to the Kappra / Parker Family of Paulsboro and Gibbstown. They honored their parents by providing an abundance of Poinsettias for the Christmas mass at our Paulsboro Church. The church looked festively adorned. Peg and Remy were Parish Trustees of St. John’s. They were married over 50 years and died this fall within a day of each other and had a beautiful joint sending home funeral mass.

Fr. Dave
