Bishop DiMarzio Ordains ‘Baker’s Dozen’ to Priesthood
This year’s ordination class is largest in U.S.
Brooklyn’s Roman Catholic community filled its large, newly-consecrated St. Joseph’s Co-Cathedral to standing-room capacity on Saturday, June 28, as the Most Rev. Nicholas DiMarzio, bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn, ordained 13 men to the priesthood. This year’s ordination class is the largest of any Catholic diocese in the United States.
More than 1,500 attendees and 200 vested priests attended the multi-lingual liturgy. The Scriptural readings were proclaimed in several languages, including Creole, Polish, Spanish and Italian.
