St. Wilfrid's Church (Incorporated Mission) is an Episcopal Church that has served East Camden since it was organized in 1884 in what was then Stockton Township. The church incorporated in 1891. It is part of the Episcopal Church's Diocese of New Jersey.

A frame church was first erected in 1885 on Westfield Avenue at North Dudley Street, adjacent to Dudley Grange, where, in 2007, the new Catto School was erected. A rectory was added at 83 North Dudley Street.

In March of 2009,Marie Gibbs Johnson was kind enough to make numerous images of St. Wilfrid's and those who worshipped there available to the site. Her mother's family, the Atgers and her cousins the Stingers were active in the church for many years.

Marie Gibbs Johnson writes:

St. Wilfrid's Episcopal Church, the whole family were members. My mom [Delphine Atger Gibbs] and I later sang in the choir. My grandmom [Marie Atger] and Uncle Maurice were active members all of their lives and my mom attended as often as she could even after moving out of the area. My brothers & I were christened and confirmed there. Some of my brothers were acolytes and participated in church activities. Uncle Maurice was choir master for many years.
