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.


Father Sullivan has graciously asked, that in lieu of gifts, donations be made to GWCM, a cause close to his heart. 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.
