Father Joseph Ferrara, pastor of St. Katharine
Drexel Parish, and Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio broke ground for the new Parish
Life Center in Egg Harbor Township on Saturday, May 31. The center
alone cost more than $1.7 million and is being built to accomodate the
parish community which has grown to 711 families. The center will
include a hall/place of worship, parish offices and eight
instructional-meeting rooms. The parishioners have been meeting since
June 2000 for Mass, which is celebrated each weekend at the Egg Harbor
Township intermediate school. Bishop DiMarzio blessed the ground on
Saturday, then celebrated Mass for parishioners at the school.
