The
Office for the Episcopal Delegate for Religious serves as the Bishop’s representative in most ordinary
matters
dealing with the religious communities within the Diocese of Brooklyn. Religious Orders (Institutes of
Consecrated Life), Communities (Societies of Apostolic Life), and Secular Institutes all contribute to
the spiritual life and ministry of the Diocese, through the presence, prayer, and labor of many Sisters,
Brothers, and priests.
 Sr.
Maryann Lopiccolo, SC, is the Episcopal Delegate for Religious. She publishes the monthly "Bits and
Pieces"
newsletter, which is distributed to each community of Religious in the diocese. An events calendar is
also available.
The Office of
Episcopal Delegate for Religious sponsors a yearly celebration in honor of religious observing jubilee
anniversaries
(25, 50, or 75 years of profession). See the Photo Gallery for pictures from last year’s celebration.
Anyone interested in
exploring the possibilities of a religious vocation, should contact the diocesan Vocations Director’s office, for information on any of the
religious
communities in the diocese.
