Celebrating 100 Years of The Reverend Robert E. Sullivan, Jr.
Since 2007, Christ Church has been blessed to have Fr. Sullivan as a member and for a time, as an assisting priest. The link is a short biography taken from a local press release several years ago and included in Christ Episcopal Church, written by Joan Mitchell.

Please send your donation to GWCM C/O Ed Ferrell, 14 Mullray Couert, Woodbury, NJ 08096. Be sure to make checks payable to GWCM and write "Christ Church/ Father Sullivan 100th" in the memo line.
