In Brooklyn Diocese: Confirmation in the Traditional Form

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

Mr. Arrys Ortanez reports:

“The Rite of Confirmation in the “traditional” form (EF) was celebrated by the Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens, His Excellency, The Most Rev. Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, at the chapel in St. John’s Cemetery in Queens, NY. Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite (Latin Mass) preceded the Confirmation Rite. Fr. James Massa, Moderator of the Curia for the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens was present in Choir and assisted at the Confirmations. Also assisting His Excellency, were Frs. Daniel Champoli and Joseph Wilson, who said Mass, both also priests of the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens. The Ceremony was amazing and moving. 26 young people were confirmed by His Excellency.” 1)

1) I would ask our Brooklyn correspondents if this style “The Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens” is in unofficial use? The diocesan website still uses the traditional “Diocese of Brooklyn” – SC.
