I have contacted the Parishes above:
The Parish from Bethelem, PA does not have the Relics.
The Parish from Egg Harbor, as George Father so kindly took the time to return my call and explain, has part of the ribbon that was placed on St. Nektarios hands after his dormition and a piece of wood from the casket.
The Parish from Clifton does have the Relics! The person to whom I spoke (I will try not to spell her name, just because I am not sure it will be correct) was extremely helpful. She let me know she will light a candle right away in the Chapel of St. Nektarios. She offered to mail me Holy Oil from the Candle of St. Nektarios. Furthermore, she offered to talk to Father to find out when Father will be available to do a blessing should I come to Clifton. Within an hour, she called me and we have decided for this upcoming Sunday. How wonderful of her - I thank her again for being so prompt and all her help.
The Cathedral from Philadelphia - I had to leave a message and I will follow-up this week.
In all honesty, since I have tried to contact the Parishes above, I did not get a chance to email the Metropolitan Office for New Jersey and I will not do that since I got my answer.
For who is interested, the St. George Cathedral from Hartford, CT is also home to the Relics of St. Nektarios. Father George was very kind to confirm this via email. Also, as mentioned above, the St. Nektarios GOC from Charlotte, NC has the Relics, as well: http://www.stnektarios.org/visitingrelics.php

I thank you all for the information that you provided.

God Bless,
Nana
