EL PAPA FRANCISCO NOMBRA UN NUEVO OBISPO PARA LA DIÓCESIS DE BROOKLYN

El Santo Padre, el Papa Francisco, ha nombrado al Monseñor Robert J. Brennan como octavo Obispo de la Diócesis de Brooklyn. El nombramiento fue anunciado esta mañana por el Arzobispo Christophe Pierre, Nuncio Apostólico en los Estados Unidos.

Monseñor Nicholas DiMarzio, obispo de Brooklyn, quien cumplió 75 años de edad el 16 de junio de 2019, había presentado su renuncia en esa fecha, tal y como lo exige el Derecho Canónico. Su renuncia fue aceptada hoy por el Papa Francisco.

“Con la elección del obispo Robert Brennan, el Santo Padre ha llamado a un neoyorquino nativo para que regrese a dirigir a los fieles de Brooklyn y Queens. En nombre de la Diócesis de Brooklyn, doy la bienvenida al Obispo Brennan, a quien conozco desde hace muchos años, con la confianza de que será capaz de liderar nuestra comunidad católica y construir sobre los logros pastorales que hemos alcanzado. Ha sido un verdadero honor servir como Obispo de la Diócesis de Brooklyn durante 18 años”, dijo el Obispo Nicholas DiMarzio.

“Este es un momento histórico para la Diócesis de Brooklyn, que es una Diócesis muy activa, por lo que la energía del Obispo Brennan hace que sea una elección perfecta.  Pido las bendiciones de Dios en esta transición para que la obra de Dios, al servicio de su pueblo, pueda continuar eficazmente para los más de 1,2 millones de católicos en todo Brooklyn y Queens”, continuó Monseñor DiMarzio.

He conocido a personas increíbles en la Diócesis de Columbus y hay una tremenda tristeza al dejarlas atrás. Mientras me preparo para regresar a Nueva York, estoy listo y ansioso por abrazar a la gente de Brooklyn y Queens como su pastor. Sabiendo que somos amados por Jesús, nos esforzaremos por mostrar a los demás su rostro, llevando la Alegría del Evangelio y el Esplendor de la Verdad. Al fin y al cabo, de eso se trata, en Columbus, en Brooklyn y en todo el mundo”, declaró Monseñor Robert Brennan, actual Obispo de la Diócesis de Columbus.

El Obispo Robert J. Brennan, hijo de Robert y Patricia Brennan, nació el 7 de junio de 1962 en El Bronx, pero creció en Lindenhurst, Long Island, Nueva York. Asistió a la Escuela Católica Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro en Lindenhurst y a la Escuela Secundaria Diocesana San Juan Bautista en West Islip. Se licenció en matemáticas e informática en la Universidad de St. John’s de Queens.

Monseñor Brennan completó sus estudios para el sacerdocio en el Seminario de la Inmaculada Concepción en Huntington, Nueva York, y fue ordenado sacerdote de la Diócesis de Rockville Centre el 27 de mayo de 1989, por el entonces Obispo de esa diócesis, Monseñor John McGann. Su primer destino parroquial fue la Iglesia de San Patricio en Smithtown.  En 1994, fue nombrado secretario del Obispo y ocupó ese cargo durante tres episcopados: Con los obispos John McGann, James McHugh y William Murphy. También ha servido como Vicario General y Moderador de la Curia de la misma diócesis. Fue ordenado Obispo Auxiliar de la Diócesis de Rockville Centre el 25 de julio de 2012.

El Obispo Brennan fue nombrado el 12º Obispo de la Diócesis de Columbus el 31 de enero de 2019, y tomó posesión de su cargo el 29 de marzo de 2019.  Entre los aspectos más destacados de su tiempo en Columbus ha sido la institución de la campaña de planificación y evangelización ‘Presencia Real, Futuro Real’ en toda la Diócesis, un proceso que involucra al clero, los ministros eclesiales laicos, los voluntarios de las parroquias y los fieles. El objetivo era determinar el mejor camino para acrecentar la presencia de la Iglesia en toda la jurisdicción diocesana de Columbus.

Monseñor Brennan ha servido en la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos como miembro del Comité para la Educación Católica, el Comité Administrativo y el Comité de Prioridades y Planes.

La Misa de Toma de Posesión del Obispo designado Robert Brennan se celebrará el martes 30 de noviembre de 2021, a las 2 p.m. en la Concatedral de San José en Brooklyn.

POPE FRANCIS NAMES NEW BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF BROOKLYN

The Holy Father, Pope Francis, has named the Most Reverend Robert J. Brennan as the eighth Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn. The appointment was announced this morning by Archbishop Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States.

The Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of Brooklyn, who turned 75 years of age on June 16, 2019, had submitted his resignation on that date as required by Canon Law. His resignation was accepted today by Pope Francis.

“In the selection of Bishop Robert Brennan, the Holy Father has called upon a native New Yorker to return to lead the faithful of Brooklyn and Queens. On behalf of the Diocese of Brooklyn, I welcome Bishop Brennan who I have known for many years, with confidence in his ability to lead our Catholic community and build upon the pastoral achievements we have made. It has truly been an honor to serve as Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn for 18 years,” said Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio.

“This is a historic moment for the Diocese of Brooklyn which is a very active Diocese, and Bishop Brennan’s energy makes him a perfect choice.  I ask for God’s blessings on this transition so that the work of God, in service to His people, can effectively continue for the more than 1.2 million Catholics throughout Brooklyn and Queens,” continued Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio.

“I came to know amazing people in the Diocese of Columbus and there is a tremendous sadness in leaving them behind. As I prepare for a return to New York, I am ready and eager to embrace the people of Brooklyn and Queens as their pastor. Knowing we are loved by Jesus, we will strive to show others his face, bearing the Joy of the Gospel and the Splendor of Truth. In the end, that’s what it is all about – in Columbus, Brooklyn, and around the world,” stated Bishop Robert Brennan, the current Bishop of the Diocese of Columbus.

Bishop Robert J. Brennan was born on June 7, 1962, to Robert and Patricia Brennan in the Bronx and was raised on Long Island, in Lindenhurst, New York. Bishop Brennan attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School in Lindenhurst and St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School in West Islip. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and computer science from St. John’s University in Queens.

Bishop Brennan completed his studies for the priesthood at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington, New York, and was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Rockville Centre on May 27, 1989, by then-Bishop John McGann. His first parish assignment was at the Church of St. Patrick in Smithtown.  In 1994, he was appointed Secretary to the Bishop and served in such capacity for three bishops: Bishops John McGann, James McHugh, and William Murphy. He has previously served as the Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia for the Diocese of Rockville Centre and was ordained an Auxiliary Bishop for the Diocese of Rockville Centre on July 25, 2012.

Bishop Brennan was appointed the 12th Bishop of Columbus on January 31, 2019, and was installed on March 29, 2019.  Among the highlights of his time in Columbus has been the institution of the Diocesan-wide Real Presence, Real Future evangelization and planning initiative, a process involving clergy, lay ecclesial ministers, parish volunteers, and the faithful. The objective was to determine the best path forward to increase the presence of the Church in the Diocese of Columbus going forward.

Bishop Brennan has served with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as a member of the Committee for Catholic Education, the Administrative Committee, and the Priorities and Plans Committee.

A Mass of Installation for Bishop-Designate Robert Brennan will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, at 2 p.m. at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph in Brooklyn.

The school offers the same Catholic education students are receiving in the classroom, only by means of a complete online learning environment.

“The Diocese of Brooklyn has worked hard to provide this opportunity to continue online learning for the students and families who wanted it to continue. We know there are people who remain uncomfortable with returning to in-person learning and want to continue learning online. They should have this option and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Online Academy provides just that. As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed so much, including education. The St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Online Academy ensures our students do not miss the opportunity to learn regardless of pandemic concerns,” said Dr. Thomas Chadzutko, Superintendent of the Schools.

A majority of the more than 150 students currently enrolled in the online school are from the New York City area. St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Online Academy is chartered in New York State under the Diocese of Brooklyn’s Department of Education.

 “Online learning is here now. The educational visionaries in the Diocese of Brooklyn have committed resources and are determined to make this option available,” said Stephen Haessler, Principal of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Online Academy.

Declaración del obispo de Brooklyn Nicholas DiMarzio

El Reverendísimo Mons. Nicholas DiMarzio, obispo de Brooklyn, ha emitido hoy el siguiente comunicado sobre el fallo de la investigación “Vos Estis Lux Mundi” (“Vosotros sois la luz del mundo”), sobre las acusaciones formuladas en su contra:

“Repito lo que he dicho desde el principio. Nada detrás de estas acusaciones es cierto. A lo largo de mis más de 50 años de ministerio como sacerdote, nunca he abusado de nadie.

Como prometí, cooperé totalmente con esta investigación porque sé que no actué mal en ningún momento. He orado por la conclusión de esta investigación, y los resultados finales verifican aún más, como he dicho constantemente, que estas acusaciones no tienen absolutamente ningún fundamento.

Sigo enfocado en liderar la Diócesis de Brooklyn mientras salimos de las tinieblas de la pandemia del coronavirus. Les pido sus oraciones mientras continúo luchando contra las demandas derivadas de estas dos acusaciones y ahora espero la restauración de mi buen nombre en los tribunales estatales de Nueva Jersey”.

Por su parte, Joseph A. Hayden, Jr. de Pashman Stein Walder Hayden en Hackensack, abogado del obispo Nicholas DiMarzio declaró:

“Esta decisión de la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe se tomó después de una investigación objetiva imparcial y rigurosa realizada por el ex fiscal federal John O’Donnell, asociado de Herbert Smith Freehills, así como por la firma de investigación fundada por el exdirector del FBI Louis Freeh. Ambos son ex funcionarios con experiencia probada e integridad impecable, encargados de hacer cumplir la ley, por lo que el resultado de la investigación no debe dejar lugar a dudas. Tal como lo establece la decisión, queda demostrado que las acusaciones contra el obispo DiMarzio son inverosímiles”.Comentarios de Mons. DiMarzio sobre la conclusión de la investigación de Vos Estis
