Deacon David J. Harkins Sr., Chief of Police of the Gloucester Township Police Department and a permanent deacon in the Diocese of Camden, received Catholic Charities’ Saint John Neumann Award at its 20th annual Dinner & Awards Ceremony Oct. 24 in Atlantic City.
In a letter to Deacon Harkins, Diocese of Camden Bishop Dennis J. Sullivan praised the deacon’s “outstanding commitment of service,” and called his “actions and leadership truly inspiring.” The honoree’s dedicated career of ministry is a clear indicator that he is deserving of this recognition, Bishop Sullivan concluded.
