VOTF/SNJ began in August 2002 with its first meeting at the home of the affiliate coordinator in Swedesboro in southern Gloucester County. Since then, the group has held bi-monthly meetings at many locations around the Camden and Trenton Dioceses, including Cherry Hill and Mount Laurel. 

Check out www.camdendiocese.org for updated information about the diocese's handling of the sexual abuse crisis.  The Trenton Diocese website can be found at www.dioceseoftrenton.org.  The bishop there is Most Reverend John M. Smith.

The next meeting of VOTF/SNJ will be held in late January.  Meeting date, time and place to be decided after the holidays.

We hope to feature Mr. Anthony Massimini, former priest and Vatican II attendee, theologian and writer, who will speak about Lay Participation in the Catholic Church and the unfulfilled promise of Vatican II.  Tony's most recent writing can be found at:
