TO CELEBRATE SERVICE
Members of religious institutes in the Diocese of Brooklyn will celebrate the World Day for Consecrated Life at a prayer service in St. James Cathedral Basilica, Brooklyn, Sunday, Feb. 8, at 4 p.m. Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio will preside.
“Our special guests will be the Religious who are new to our Diocese from outside of the United States,” said Sister Maryann Seton Lopiccolo, S.C., the diocesan Episcopal Delegate for Religious.
The service will observe the theme of the cathedral’s 150th anniversary this year, “We Are the Temple of the Living God.”
“We will recognize and honor the multitude of religious congregations and institutes who have been the ‘living stones’ in the making of the Diocese and the Church in America,” Sister Maryann said.
“True to our heritage as a Diocese of Immigrants, we will celebrate the vast diversity of women and men in consecrated life who contribute to the service of the whole world in our very midst,” she said.
More than 1,300 women and men in consecrated life serve in Brooklyn and Queens.
