The Bishop of Camden presides from the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Camden, however, most major ceremonies are held at Saint Agnes Catholic Church in Blackwood. Some liturgies are held at St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral, Camden. The Diocese of Camden contains over 70 parishes and about 475,000 Catholics. Since 2013, Bishop Dennis J. Sullivan is serving as Bishop of the Diocese. ==History== Pope Pius XI established the Diocese of Camden on December 9, 1937, by breaking it off from the Diocese of Trenton. The oldest parish is St. Mary (Gloucester City), which was founded in 1848. On April 2, 2008, Bishop Joseph A. Galante announced the closing of roughly half of the parishes in the diocese. This followed a previous announcement of the closing of various Catholic schools. The Diocese of Camden was led by Bishop Galante until his resignation was accepted on Jan. 8, 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
