Msgr. Michael T. Mannion, director of the Office of Community Relations for the Diocese of Camden, celebrates a Mass of remembrance and healing at St. Joseph Church, Sea Isle, on Monday, May 14. Assisting at Mass were Deacon Liam O’Clisham and Deacon Joe Murphy. Those attending the Mass brought a photo of their deceased child and placed it, and a lighted candle, before the altar. Some 180 individuals were remembered during the Mass, which has been celebrated annually for about 10 years. Some died recently; others died as far back as the 1950s.
