Bishop Robert Brennan welcomed some of the more than 1,200 new members of the Catholic Church who joined at Easter Vigil Masses across the Diocese of Brooklyn.
The bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn celebrated the Mass of the Neophytes on April 12 at Resurrection Church in Marine Park.
The special liturgy is designed to encourage the newly baptized and confirmed to continue their commitment to the faith while formally welcoming them into the diocese through prayer with their bishop.
Bishop Brennan urged the faithful at the Brooklyn church to pray for the new Catholics and expressed hope that they would become leaders who draw others to the Church.
