The account that you are about to read is a captivating one, from the earliest recorded baptism in Salem County, by Rev. Theodore Schneider, S.J., to the celebration of the 65th Anniversary of the Diocese of Camden. This history is like the history of every family – yours and mine. It is a history of our ancestors, our growth, our struggles and our future. As you read this wonderfully rich history, you may indeed, see your own past. Perhaps in the many immigrants who settled in our Diocese – the Irish, Italians, Latino, German, Korean, Polish, Vietnamese and many more immigrants – making it their new home. Perhaps in the numbers of Philadelphians who moved to the New Jersey suburbs after World War II. Perhaps in the early parishes that were founded along the Southern Jersey shore. There are unique faces, personalities, cultures and circumstances here. But there is one underlying similarity, a Christian people, committed to their faith, their Church and their obligation to make that faith available to all those who might wish to partake of it.
