My cousin used to attend St. Pat's on occasion for old times sake. Cars were broken into so often that the police would patrol around the block during services. The thugs waited until the police turned the corner and break into cars and be gone before the police got back around the block. My cousin won't attend churchs in Wilmington any more.

Riverside was much more personal, and it was a nice, clean hospital. I was sorry when it closed. It became an extended care facility, and now has been torn down. Good things never last. Just build Christiana bigger each year, and you can go there to get lost! Just my personal opinion. Shirley Hudson Jester
