"When I became a bishop I chose as my motto Have the mind of Jesus. This remains my goal and my desire for myself as well as for all of us. I invite all of you to join with me in coming to know Jesus more intimately, to love Jesus more ardently, and to live Jesus more totally. I eagerly look forward to coming to know and to collaborate with the laity, religious and clergy of our Diocese." 
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio 1999- 2003
"The Church of Camden, indeed, is part of the Lord's vineyard, which has produced much fruit by way of vocations and commitment to the Christian life by the laity. I pray that I am up to the task of continuing the good work already done and guiding the Curch into the new millennium"
Bishop James T. McHugh 1989-1998
"I come to you today as your new bishop to carry on the work already begun; to proclaim the message of Christ strongly and unflinchingly as we approach the year 2000; to affirm and encourage our priests, religious and lay people who are already working with such great dedication; to promote respect for human life at every stage from conception to natural death and in every circumstance; to heighten the sensitivity of everyone to the needs of the poor, the disadvantaged, those in neeed of comapssion and reconciliation."- Bishop George H. Guilfoyle 1968-1989
"In accepting this honored office, I do so not only with full awareness of the great responsibility involved but also with confidence in the faithful collaboration and strong support of the splendid clergy, religious and laity of the Diocese of Camden. United in faith and charity, and strengthened by God's grace, we shall serve God and neighbor. In the days ahead — in the vital pastoral care of the people — I shall expend all strength and energy — I shall pray day and night for the spiritual and material welfare of all People of God in this area of the Lord's vineyard." 
Archbishop Celestine J. Damiano 1960-1967
"If my pastroal ministry accomplishes nothing more than fulfill the programs and desires of my predecessors, especially in the building of churches, institutions, and fostering vocations, then my humble name will be blessed before God and before souls."- Bishop Justin J. McCarthy 1957-1959
"It is easy on any public occasion to speak on what we hope to do and how we should try to do it. Yet we understand that we are but weak human instruments who need to rely very much on our Blessed Lord who is so eager to help us love Him and serve Him." - Bishop Bartholomew J. Eustace 1938-1956
"I transfer to the clergy and people of Camden my allegiance, my devotion, and my ministry — for by the ring I wear I am wedded to them and by the cross I bear I vow to be a faithful leader, gentle father and true bishop. Floreat Camdenum (May Camden Flourish)."
