mural"We Shall Rise" imageA true community mural created with the theme "our neighborhood is alive, is strong, and life goes on here" was designed by artist Cesar Viveros with much input from Waterfront South residents. 
It was painted at various Heart of Camden locations by many.  Thanks to John Gialuco for donating his wall, the Perkins Art Center and Camden County Prosecutor's office for sponsoring, and the many others who participated.

It's a Terrible Day, Thanks Be to God

A collection of letters of prose and poetry written by Msgr. Michael Doyle during his many years of witnessing life in Waterfront South.

"I wish you could see Camden and then see the lovely little children who are trying to grow up here in ugly situations - like so many flowers in fields of old tires and broken bottles. Oh, if I had a wish, it would be that the world of little children would be soft and beautiful as our tender God first intended - before we tore His dreams with our greed and neglect."

Father Doyle with his book
  It's a Terrible Day, Thanks Be to God by Msgr. Michael Doyle. All Orders mailed within 3 weeks or sooner if you need it, just call us at 856-966-1212.
