Father Jeremias Castillo has been the parochial vicar at Transfiguration Church in Williamsburg for a couple of years, but he recently received incardination, the formal approval for a priest’s move from one diocese to another.
“Officially, we are a part of this amazing diocese. I am grateful to God,” Father Israel Perez said on June 30, the day he and four of his fellow priests were incardinated and officially became part of the Diocese of Brooklyn.
Low-key is an apt description of the March 18 ceremony that incardinated two Catholic priests into permanent membership with the Diocese of Brooklyn.
