Paul VI Pedigree

On Aug. 10, a Mass was celebrat- ed for new seminarian candidates at Infant Jesus Parish in Woodbury Heights. The four men from the Diocese of Camden are preparing to enter the seminary at Seton Hall University in South Orange. Pictured outside Infant Jesus, were past and current students and staff from Paul VI High School, Haddon Township, with Matthew Pluta (third from left), a candidate and recent graduate of Paul VI. With Pluta were Father Michael Romano, director of vocations and a gradu- ate of Paul VI; Sister Marianne McCann, MPF, principal; Peter Gallagher and Henry Laigaie, cur- rent seminarians and Paul VI grad- uates; Michael Chambers, presi- dent; Father John Rossi, Director of Catholic Identity at Paul VI; and Father Robert Hughes, Vicar General of the Diocese of Camden, and past President of Paul VI. Seminarian candidates not pic- tured: Paul Abbruscato, from Our Lady Star of the Sea, Atlantic City; Samuel Hardy, St. Gabriel the Archangel, Carneys Point; and Daniel Palmieri, Our Lady of Photo by James A.
