Shrine of St. Joseph’s New Pilgrim Chapel Groundbreaking
On Tuesday, September 15th the long-awaited groundbreaking for the new Pilgrim Chapel at the Shrine of St. Joseph in Stirling, NJ was held. The newly appointed bishop of the Diocese of Paterson, Bishop Kevin Sweeney, was present to bless the site and shared shoveling the dirt with Fr. Mike Barth, S.T. This Chapel, which will house a beautiful, large Mosaic of St. Joseph, rescued more than 40 years by Brother Martin, will be a place of peace, reflection and prayer and will be built into the hill outside the side entrance to the Gift Shop on the side of the residence. Congratulations go to Fr. Dennis Berry and the team of laity who have guided this project through the last years.
