The pews of Saint Thomas the Apostle Parish were full of applause and smiles Oct. 3 as Father Edward Namiotka was installed as pastor in Brigantine. Standing in front of Bishop Joseph A. Williams, Father Namiotka took the Oath of Fidelity, pledging to carry out the duties of the Church and devote himself to the spiritual care of his parishioners. In addition to greeting parish leadership at the Mass, he posed for photos afterward with parishioners and members of the Knights of Columbus.
Among the clergy concelebrating Mass were Msgr. Thomas Morgan, and familiar faces who serve or have served in nearby Atlantic City – Father Bob Matysik and Msgr. William Hodge. A reception for Brigantine’s new pastor followed Mass.
