St. Vincent Martyr

Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Metropolitan Archbishop of Newark, ordained Sweeney to the Order of Bishops and installed him as the new Bishop of Paterson. Bishop DiMarzio and Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli were the co-consecrating bishops on July 1, 2020.

“We will always remember this year 2020, especially our loved ones who have died,” Sweeney said. “We will see happier and brighter days ahead and I hope that I will have the privilege of seeing you all when we can gather together in church for Mass and celebrate our 150th anniversary. Until then, let us continue to remember each other in prayer.”
