2022 Diocese of Camden

Bishop's Annual Appeal

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

​

   Hopefully you have received a letter from Bishop Sullivan asking you to prayerfully consider a sacrificial gift to the House of Charity for this year's campaign. Please prayerfully consider making a commitment in support of the vital programs that carry on the work of the Church throughout southern New Jersey.

​

   These ministries benefit our less fortunate brothers and sisters in our local and surrounding communities. The gifts that come from our parish join those from throughout the Diocese, enabling our workers to bring hope to those in need. While a single gift may not seem like much on its own in the face of such great need, when the Church combines its gifts together, we are able to care for multitudes.

​

   We are the Church. This is our calling. Since the first Apostles, we have been charged with providing care to those who need it ... inspired by the sacrificial love our Savior taught us. 

​

Heavenly Father,

You called us to be One Body: Your Church.

You blessed us so we may be good servants.

Help us to serve those in need.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord,

Who with You and the Holy Spirit live and reign

One God forever and ever. Amen.

 

There are a number of ways to connect with the House of Charity:

Diocese of Camden ... Chapter 11 Reorganization

The Diocese of Camden announced on October 1, 2020 that it was filing for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. What that means for the Diocese here in South Jersey, for our Parish, for Saint Michael the Archangel Regional School, and for all of us, is explained in many documents that have been posted on the diocesan website.
