Three St. Joseph’s Academy students traveled to Camden, New Jersey, for a week of service. The experience is hosted by Romero Center Ministries, formerly a Franciscan convent now owned and run by St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral Parish. Once a thriving working-class community across the river from Philadelphia, Camden was devastated by the decline of the manufacturing industry and today suffers with high poverty, unemployment and crime rates. Romero Center Ministries grounds people in Jesus’ call to serve the poor.
