Bishop Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez has been officially ordained and installed at the Cathedral of St. Ignatius Loyola in Florida.
The Tablet offers this special look at his legacy and impact in the Diocese of Brooklyn as he begins leading his new flock.
Thanks for all you support of Bishop Rodriguez’s day yesterday. I enjoyed viewing it. Today’s coverage, especially giving the whole speech in video and print, highlighted yesterday’s blessings. What really impressed me is that you literally printed the special edition already despite the blizzard and fact that the ceremony was yesterday afternoon! Well done! kudos to your staff! God bless Bishop Emeritus Barbarito, whom I know from our original home parish of St. Catherine of Alexandria and whose sister lives here on Staten Island where I also live. May he enjoy his ‘retirement’ in support of the new Bishop! God bless Bishop Manuel de Jesus Rodriguez and the Diocese of Palm Beach. How nice that 13 brother priests from Brooklyn were there supporting/honoring him.
