Viable option for the Diocese may be to reduce St.

Sea Isle City - Viable option for the Diocese may be to reduce St. Joseph Parish to a mission. Sell off all assets (old school and old church) except the new church which will become an active for the summer missionary work and Sunday service. Transfer parish functions to those churches of the island where most of the old families and Sea Isle workers live. This is an ethical and compassionate way to end this tribal schism that is no longer Catholic (i.e. universal) in intent or spirit.
