Deacon Thimote Cherelus was a small-business owner in his hometown, Port-au- Prince, Haiti, so he understands balancing profits with overhead and payroll. The soon-to-be priest is also educated in the Catholic faith, having recently earned his master’s in theology from St. Joseph’s Seminary and College in Dunwoodie, Yonkers. He is now looking to put that education to practice and use it on his new journey into priesthood.

Deacon Thimote Cherelus will be ordained in the Diocese of Brooklyn on June 3, along with three other men.

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.

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.”
