Br. Damien O'Shea
Like every journey, St. John of God Community Services began with a first step. Brothers Thaddeus O’Connell, Eunan McGuinness, Damien O’Shea, Cornelius Lenn and Canis Fahy began their work by providing early intervention services in Christ the King Parish in Haddonfield.
The new program thrived, and in response to growing community needs, it soon expanded and moved to a new and larger facility in Westville Grove in 1968.
