Father Nicholas Dudo
Pastor
Serving Part Time as the Vicar for Clergy
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad.” Ps. 118:24
Hello. Allow me to share some information about myself and my faith journey. Originally from Glenside, Pennsylvania, my family moved to Atlantic City in 1981 – where my grandparents had a 40-year connection in running a summer guest house. I graduated from Holy Spirit High School and attended Stockton College (well before it became a University) studying computer science. After my freshman year, I was motivated to change career paths and enrolled in the Culinary Arts Associate Degree program at Atlantic Community College. I then worked as a chef at Harrah’s Casino Hotel for 15 years. However, since high school I knew I had a calling to the priesthood, which I repressed for many years. Thankfully, the Lord was very patient with me. Over time, He used people in my life to invite me to pray and offer service in my parish, which drew me into a deeper relationship with the Lord, allowing me to experience His love and mercy in a real way. Eventually, through God’s grace, I found the courage to finally say “yes.” I entered seminary and studied philosophy at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia and then theology at the University of Saint Thomas Aquinas and the Gregorian University – both in Rome, Italy. I was assigned a parochial vicar at Our Lady of Hope parish, Blackwood from 2009-2011 and then pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish, Galloway from 2011-2017. I have been the Vicar for Clergy, in residence at Holy Angels parish, Woodbury for the past 8 years. Throughout my journey I have been supported by my parents, now deceased, my sister, 2 brothers, my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, 7 nieces and nephews and 5 grand- nieces & nephews. I am pleased to have the opportunity to return to parish ministry on a more regular basis as Co-Pastor here at the Catholic Community of the Holy Spirit. I join with you, as a fellow disciple, in building up the Kingdom of God as we make our pilgrimage in this world, while always focusing on the goal of eternal life.
God bless,
Father Dudo
Father Stephen Robbins
Part-Time Parochial Vicar
Hi everyone, my name is Fr. Stephen Robbins, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve here at Holy Spirit! I am a South Jersey native all the way, growing up in the Gloucester Township/Blackwood area. I grew up in a small family, with my parents and my younger sister Sarah. My family was very faithful growing up, however I did not start to take my faith seriously until high school, when difficulties with both of my parents’ health forced me to wrestle with what I truly believed in. In that time of difficulty, it was Jesus’ suffering that convicted me that what He did for me was what gave meaning to my life!
As a student at Bishop Eustace high school, I began to consider that God might be calling me to be a priest, yet, because of my fear, I decided to go to college, hoping to become a teacher. I went to Drexel University for a year, where I was a member of the varsity rowing team. During that year, the Lord continued to knock at the door of my heart, until I eventually decided to enter seminary. I studied at St. Andrew’s College Seminary in South Orange, NJ and then St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, NY before being ordained a priest of our diocese in 2022.
As a priest, I spent my first 3 months doing a missionary and Spanish immersion experience in Colombia, before heading to my first assignment at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Camden, where I’ve served for the last four years. During that time, I also served as the chaplain at Camden Catholic High School for 3 years, and then as an Associate Vocation Director for the past year, which I will continue to do part time.
I am so excited to meet you all and to see what God desires to do during this time here at CCHS, and please know of my prayers!

Pastoral Council
The Parish Pastoral Council consists of lay members of our parish with Fr. Dudo and Father Mohan. The council is to be the visionary group of the parish, meeting monthly to work on the goals of establishing a parish vision and mission. In addition, they give counsel and assistance to our pastor.
Unlike a “Parish Council”, the Pastoral Council does not have officers and is not about the “business” of the parish. Instead, the work of the Pastoral Council is prayer and discernment for the identity and future of the parish. The members are tasked with being the “eyes and ears” of the parish and bringing that to the table with a goal of forming the direction of the parish. The business of the parish is the work of the Finance Council, and the newly formed Ministry Council.
The Pastoral Council meets regularly with the Parish Ministry Council (a group of leaders from each parish ministry). In those meetings, the Ministry Council reports what they are doing, hearing and seeing and the Pastoral Council offers suggestions and overall parish direction and vision. For instance, the Pastoral Council may feel it’s important for our parish to focus on finding ways to involve the youth of the parish in more parish activities and will suggest that to the Ministry Council. Or the Pastoral Council might think there is a greater need to serve the senior citizens of our parish, especially the sick and homebound, and will ask the Ministry Council to consider that need within any or all of their ministries.

Membership on the Council is the result of someone offering their time and talent as a council member, and then a process of Discernment. This is much the same way as is found in scripture when a new apostle was needed.
Finance Council
The Parish Finance Council is a consultative body which assists the pastor to act justly and prudently in the administration of the parish’s temporal goods.

Trustees
The parish trustees are recommended by the pastor and elected for a period of 1 year. A lay trustees of a parish corporation is not merely an “honorary appointee” but is to be a parishioner who is knowledgeable, outstanding in concern for the Church and the parish and who actively shares with a pastor his or her views on parish life and needs. -(Diocesan Statutes nos. 203, 207, 209, 210, 246 and 247)
