28 percent of our parish families live within the Kennett Square Borough,
while the rest (more than 1,100 families) live in the townships. St.

county. At one time, our parish encompassed everything that now
includes Sacred Heart in Oxford; Assumption BVM in West Grove; St. Gabriel
in New Garden, and a large part of St. Cornelius in Chadds Ford.
