CHESTERTOWN, Md. – Mention Kent County in the Diocese of Wilmington and the first thing that comes to mind for most Catholics is the space between New Castle County and the beach. A destination on the Eastern Shore? Not so much.
“You can call it the other Kent County in the Diocese of Wilmington,” said Father Paul Campbell, pastor of Sacred Heart Parish and its mission church, St. John’s in nearby Rock Hall, both in Kent County, Md.

PERRYVILLE, Md. — As pastor of Good Shepherd Parish in Perryville, Md., Father Jay McKee has his hands full. The parish includes three churches, a school and an inactive chapel.
The main complex is at Good Shepherd, just off Route 40 on the banks of the Susquehanna River. That’s the location of the parish offices and Good Shepherd School. The parish also includes St. Agnes Church in Rising Sun, St. Teresa Church in Port Deposit, and St. Patrick’s Chapel in Pilottown, although that is inactive and hosts Mass just once a year.
