The Origin of St. Joseph's Parish—Continued After World War 1 [sic] a building boom started in East Camden. The congregation of Saint Joseph's parish grew rapidly, and it became necessary to seek a new site for a Church and School. Father Shuvlin was directed to take the site formerly occupied by Saint Patrick's cemetery. He purchased this ground for $55,000.00. Those who had been buried there were removed principally to Calvary cemetery. Plans for a fine school building were drawn up by Mr. H. G. Dagit, and the contract for its construction was let to the Farrell and Rath Company of Philadelphia, for the sum of $186,687, which included all but heating. The heating contract was let separately for $11,461.00, the cost of furnishings about $25,000.00, which brought the debt at the time to a total of $223,148.00. The new convents and rectory were to come later. The new building, completed in 1929, was intended primarily as a total school unit. Father Shuvlin had hoped to build a basement church facing Federal Street, but events in 1929 forestalled that step. Early in January, 1930, the parishioners of Saint Joseph's were shocked to hear from Father Shuvlin that he had received notification of transfer to Riverside. The new pastor, the Rev. Charles G. McCorristin, arrived in the middle of January, 1930, to take up the weighty burden of the now sizeable and deeply indebted Howard Johnson's Royal Cafe EXCELLENT FOOD Music Saturday and Sunday Nights 3827 Marlton Pike Pennsauken, N.
