Bishop Brennan was also on hand in Brooklyn, where he celebrated a Mass of the Holy Spirit at Cristo Rey Brooklyn High School.
The bishop welcomed the new president during the Mass at the East Flatbush Catholic high school.
Michael Motyl previously worked at a Catholic high school in South Texas.
Many said this Mass of the Holy Spirit, which helps kick off the academic year, was fitting.
The new president says he’s excited to work with the students in preparing them for college and a life full of faith.
