Father Joseph Capella Named Rector of CCHS

Bishop Dennis Sullivan has appointed Father Joseph Capella to serve as Rector of Camden Catholic High School. He has been the school's Director of Catholic Identity for the past two years.

Fr. Capella is a seasoned educator, having held the positions of teacher, chaplain and the Rector of Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in Cherry Hill from 1996-2003. He has also been a pastor in the diocese, most recently at Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine Parish in Lindenwold, N.J.

"Fr. Capella is a shining example of the priesthood and one of the most dedicated and pastoral priests in our diocese," said Bishop Dennis Sullivan. "His work in every location he has been assigned has been exemplary and I am confident his presence in this new role will bring further blessings to the students, faculty, and families of Camden Catholic High School."

As Rector, Fr. Capella is responsible for directing the operation of the school in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church and overseeing the provision of a Catholic education.
