On Tuesday, Sept. 10, the Diocese of Camden will formally receive Coadjutor Bishop Joseph A. Williams during a Mass of Welcome at Saint Agnes Church, Our Lady of Hope Parish, in Blackwood.
In attendance at the Mass will be Cardinal Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Archbishop of Newark, as well as numerous archbishops, bishops and priests from across the nation.
