Decision a shocker for parish, pastor

"This will go down as the dumbest decision in the history of the  diocese".... Bill Bloemker (St. Vincent parishioner since 1965)

Just five months ago, the church spent $1 million to build a 7,000-square-foot rectory and a nearly 8,000-square-foot memorial hall to replace the toxic-mold-ridden old rectory. Because the church shares its parking lot with Paul VI High School, parishioners have 400 off-street parking spaces available to them and the church seats roughly 800 people, about twice the size of St. Aloysius.

St. Aloysius is half the size of St. Vincent, sits in an area with little room for expansion and has very little off-street parking, St. Vincent parishioners said.

I am a former parishioner of Saint Mary's. One of my favorite priests was Fr. George Seiter, who is up there in the diocese. I wonder because of his status in the diocese and the fact he is pastor of St. Aloyisus had anything to do with the decision. Also St. Vincent's was not even in the same deanary with St. Vincent. This Bishop is the worst in the history of Camden. Congrat. Galante, your cutbacks have made our governor look good. Do me a favor and go back to Texas.
