New Jersey Seminarians Aid European Brothers
Under Monsignor Justin McCarthy the Immaculate Conception seminary in Darlington New Jersey has sent 5000 pounds of clothing and food to European seminarians since 1951. The Cloister shop handles the process with seminary officials coordinating weekly money collections sent to bishops in Germany and the Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop J Muench. Clothing grew from need for material help rather than funds as European seminarians lack clothing and books under Russian domination.
