Bishop Joseph A. Williams has appointed Father Vincent Guest as Vicar for the City of Camden. This is a role that has been utilized several times in the history of the Diocese and is designed to strengthen the Catholic Church’s coordination and outreach in the city.

Father Guest will represent the bishop at civic events and community meetings and serve as a point of contact with government agencies and neighborhood organizations. He will also oversee collaboration among Catholic leaders, parishes, Catholic Charities of South Jersey and church-affiliated groups working in Camden.

“In many ways, my journey to the priesthood came not only with working with the poor, but also with those who serve the poor, especially the local clergy, priests and religious sisters here in the City of Camden. To be part of that here now as a pastor has given me great joy,” says Father Guest who also serves as pastor of Sacred Heart Parish – Camden NJ in Camden.
