Deacon Nnamdi Eusebius Eze considers himself a pretty good soccer player. It’s more than a hobby for the Nigerian native, but he knows he’s going to be an even better priest. Since he was a young boy, spreading the word of god has been his true passion. His pursuit of a career in mechanical engineering couldn’t change that. Deacon Nnamdi Eusebius will be ordained in the Diocese of Brooklyn on June 3, along with three other men. 

If you would like to view the ordination, just tune into NET-TV to watch it live at 11 a.m.

But if you can’t make it, no worries, we will deliver.

Thousands of faithful filled the “Crossroads of the World” for a Pentecost vigil in Times Square on Saturday May 27.

The event was part of the years-long National Eucharistic Revival.

A diocesan Catholic school rolled out the red carpet on Friday, May 26, for their own version of the Academy Awards.

The stars hit the stage at St. Athanasius Catholic Academy, but one winner swept every category, Father Ron D’Antonio.

He’s retiring after teaching at the school for nearly two decades. Father D’Antonio has always loved movies and television so much that as a child he dreamed of being an actor.

Students and teachers decided to incorporate movies into the event and put on a Hollywood celebration to honor him.

Father D’Antonio will spend his retirement at his home parish of St. Simon and Jude in Gravesend. 

The Holy Name of Jesus Church in Windsor Terrace has stood on the corner of Prospect Park West and Prospect Avenue since 1878.

A recent renovation restored the church’s timeless design.

Nick Sisto, who’s been sitting in the church’s pews for decades, was there every step of the way, helping to bring the church back to its original beauty.

“I can’t believe I played a small part in something so big, in something so lasting, in something that meant so much to so many,” Sisto said.

Sisto credits the entire parish for making the restoration a reality and says the professionals did the heavy lifting.

“We were building something not temporary,” Sisto said. “We were building something for many generations to come after us.”

But Father Larry Ryan, Holy Name’s pastor, said Sisto was at the center of everything.

“He is tremendously well organized,” Father Ryan said. “He was in effect the project manager of this restoration.”

Nick Sisto from Holy Name of Jesus Church in Brooklyn is The Pulse Of The Parish.

Sisto helped with the stunning restoration of his beloved church.

Bishop Robert Brennan honored those who served the country in the armed forces this weekend with a special Memorial Day Mass. 

This year the bishop celebrated the holiday with a Field Mass at St. John’s Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens. 

The service was to remember and pray for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Similar liturgies were held at all cemeteries owned and operated by Catholic Cemeteries of Brooklyn and Queens.

It was a joyous day for the Diocese of Brooklyn, with 19 men being ordained as new deacons.

Bishop Robert Brennan presided over the sacrament on Saturday, May 27, at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph. 

The men, who range in age from 40 to 65, will perform baptisms, witness marriages, and distribute Communion in churches all around Brooklyn and Queens.

At the end of the Mass, Bishop Brennan gave his appreciation to the new deacons and the families who helped them realize their vocation. 

Brooklyn will be served by 13 of the new deacons, while the remaining six will serve in Queens.
