What are you doing on Saturday, September 21 from 10 AM to 4 PM? Join members of the Diocese of Newark Sesquicentennial Committee, the Diocesan Staff and Crossroad Camp and Retreat Center Staff members for a great day of fun and fellowship. The event is the first in a series of events planned for the 150th anniversary of the Diocese of Newark.
