Diocesan Director of Music and Organist Preston L. Dibble, M.M. CATHEDRAL OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST Cantor Janet Natale PATERSON,

In early 1938, James T. Delehanty, the first Vicar General of the new Paterson Diocese, renovated the sanctuary in order to accommodate the church’s new cathedral status – including moving the Fanning Pulpit back to the original location! In 1940, a new window with scenes from the life of Saint John the Baptist, executed by the Payne Studios of Paterson, was installed on the rear wall of the sanctuary. At the time it was the second largest stained glass window in the country. In 1965, following the liturgical changes called for by the , Monsignor Michael Hart installed a temporary “altar of sacrifice” facing the congregation. The logistical difficulties presented by the revised liturgy after Vatican II, as well as the impending 50th Anniversary of the creation of the diocese helped spark a movement for a major renovation of the Cathedral. The decision was undertaken in 1985 under Paterson’s sixth Bishop, Frank J. Rodimer. In addition to addressing a number of structural issues, the renovation included a complete redesign of the liturgical space, the enlarging of the sacristy, and the repositioning of the tabernacle, choir and organ. Bishop Rodimer rededicated the Cathedral on the morning of the Diocesan Golden Jubilee, December 9, 1987. Subsequent changes have included installing six windows of Saints from the Americas in the choir loft, a new Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini window over the Tower Entrance, and the installation of air conditioning in 2003. On September 20, 2010, a portion of the Cathedral ceiling collapsed, resulting in the closing of the Cathedral for more than six and a half years. With the inspiration and constant support of Paterson’s seventh Bishop, Arthur J. Serratelli, the latest technology was used to study the Cathedral structure, resulting in a comprehensive renovation which addressed struc- tural, liturgical and practical issues. These included a redesign of the liturgical space, the return of the organ and choir to the choir loft (with the addition of an elevator), a repositioning of the tabernacle, and a new altar, cathedra and pulpit. For the first time, a baldacchino was introduced to set off the altar. Several historic features were repurposed during this renovation. Part of the 1878 Hinchcliffe reredos and the 1987 altar are utilized in the Eucharistic reservation space. The Screen incorporates part of the Mission first installed in Saint John’s on January 23, 1881. The 1927 Stations of the Cross have been refurbished, as well as the marble statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. The 1987 statues of Saints Peter and Paul, recalling the Cathedral’s in 1890, and reminding all of the link between our local Church and the Church Universal, have been retained. A contemporary account described Dean McNulty’s vision for Saint John’s as, “… building a church large enough to afford every Catholic in the city all the conveniences of attending Mass and the sacraments and at the same time he intended to erect a structure which would be a credit to the liberality and enterprise of the congregation.” Today, as we approach the Diocesan 80th anniversary in December and look forward to the Cathedral Parish bicenten- nial in three years, the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, the largest church edifice in the Paterson Diocese, and the oldest cathedral in New Jersey, once again fulfills Dean McNulty’s vision as a beautiful home for the Diocesan Church.

31 Patrick C. Kiely, a prominent architect, was engaged to design a neo-Gothic church for Saint John’s. (Kiely designed some 900 churches including the cathedrals of Boston, Chicago, Erie and Providence). The stone was quarried in Little Falls, brought to Paterson on the Morris Canal, and dressed on the site. The slate roofing came from England. Similar to medieval cathedrals, St. John’s was built by “day’s work,” the volunteer labor contributed by members of the parish. The church was sufficiently complete to allow for its dedication on July 31, 1870. Bishop William Wood of Philadelphia substituted for Bishop Bayley of Newark who was still in Rome at the First Vatican Council. While now in use, St. John’s was by no means complete. In the next twenty years many features, both exterior and interior, were finished. In 1872 McNulty purchased four additional lots for the rectory. In 1878 the temporary altar brought over from the Oliver Street church was replaced by a grand altar and reredos, painted to resemble marble, donated by Senator John Hinchcliffe. The original temporary wood structure that allowed Mass to be said on the site during construction was replaced by a new Lady Chapel connected to the main church. The minarets and spire on the tower were completed and a new organ installed. The dimensions of the new church were 180 feet deep, and 88 feet across. The interior stone columns rise to a height of 60 feet, while the front minarets rise to 120 feet, and the tower spire reaches 225 feet – the tallest building in Paterson. By 1887, the parish had succeeded in paying off the $232,000 cost of Saint John’s. Newark’s third Bishop, Winand M. Wigger, came to Paterson on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, June 29, 1890 to consecrate the church. At the time it was a rare ceremony since it was only celebrated for a church free of debt. By the time of the consecration the four “evangelist” windows in the sanctuary, as well as the two windows facing Main Street (Saints John the Baptist and Dominic), manufactured in Innsbruck, Austria, had already been installed. The remainder of the windows were installed as donors came forward. Almost from the beginning, Dean McNulty (he was named Dean of Passaic and Bergen Counties in 1886) was forced to deny rumors that he had pretensions of cathedral status for the new Saint John’s. The size of the building alone, as well as the unusual placement of the pulpit on the “Epistle side” of the sanctuary – thus leaving room for a possible cathedra on the Gospel side – helped fuel those rumors. Newark’s second Bishop, Michael A. Corrigan, speculated about a possible future Diocese of Paterson (or Jersey City) when the Trenton Diocese was split from Newark in 1881. HIS HOLINESS Of course, like any home, a church is never finished. Over the next century there would be many additions, renovations and restorations at Saint John’s. In 1927 Dean McNulty’s immediate successor, Msgr. Edward Quirk added new lighting, a sound system, SUPREME PONTIFF new Stations of the Cross, and a new marble pulpit – donated by William Fanning – repositioned on the “Gospel side” of the sanctuary.

30 3 THE CATHEDRAL OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST

What makes a church a cathedral? It is not necessarily the size of the building, nor its antiquity nor its beauty – although it may have all these things. Rather, a church is a cathedral because the cathedra (chair), the seat of the Bishop, “the sign of his teaching office and pastoral power in the diocesan church” (Ceremonial of ) is located in this church, which has been designated for that role by the . On December 9, 1937, by the Apostolic Bull Recta Cuiusvis, Pope Pius XI designated the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Paterson as the Cathedral for the new Diocese of Paterson, erected by virtue of the same pontifical decree, and comprising Passaic, Morris and Sussex Counties in northwestern New Jersey. As early as 1816, itinerant priests, Rev. Philip Larisey, O.S.A. and Rev. Arthur Landgill, offered Mass in private homes in Paterson every few weeks. In 1820, New York’s second Bishop, , O.P. sent one of his eight priests, newly-ordained Father Richard Bulg- er to serve the missions of northern New Jersey with his residence at Paterson. A native of Kilkenny, Ireland, Bulger was the first priest to be ordained in New York City, and the first priest to permanently reside in New Jersey. Under Bulger’s leadership, and at a cost of $1,000, a wood-frame church was built on the corner of Mill and Market Streets in 1821. It is believed the name was chosen in honor of Bishop Connolly. Almost immediately the frame church was inadequate and plans were made to expand. After a donation of land from Roswell Colt, the head of the Society for Useful Manufactures, New York’s third bishop, John DuBois, S.S. came to Paterson on November 6, 1828 to lay the cornerstone for a new brownstone church on Oliver Street. The new Saint John’s was constructed by Andrew Derrom at a cost of $15,000. A century later, the first Bishop of Paterson would be given a house on the avenue named for Derrom to use as a residence. On October 30, 1863, Bishop James R. Bayley, the first Bishop of Newark, named Father William McNulty, a 34-year-old native of Ballyshannon, County Donegal, Ireland, as 13th Pastor of Saint John’s. He was destined to become a man of legend, remaining at Saint John’s for nearly 59 years until his death on June 18, 1922. Paterson was growing rapidly – 7,000 residents in 1840, 19,000 in 1860, 51,000 in 1880, and 101,000 in 1900 – but McNulty HIS EXCELLENCY was more than up for the challenges presented by that growth. By the time of McNulty’s death Paterson had sixteen Catholic churches, a full Catholic school system, a Catholic hospital, THE MOST REVEREND nursing home, and orphanage, almost all of it traceable to McNulty’s efforts. CHRISTOPHE PIERRE, D.D. The Oliver Street church, already enlarged once, was too small for the growing congre- gation, and on a site too small to admit further enlarging. Besides, McNulty did not want his APOSTOLIC NUNCIO church on a side street. In his mind, there was only one fitting place for the in Paterson – on the corner of Main and Grand Streets. McNulty maneuvered to obtain sixteen TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA lots on that corner for $10,000 and on September 11, 1865, Bishop Bayley, after Confirming 203 parishioners, laid the cornerstone for the third Saint John’s before an estimated crowd of 10,000.

In the dexter: Vert, on a fess embattled Argent a trefoil Vert; in base the Paschal Lamb Proper, enhaloed Or with a cross throughout Gules, supporting a pole Or; in chief flying from the pole the banner of victory, Argent, a cross throughout Gules (Diocese of Paterson).

Ensigned with an epis- copal cross Or behind the shield and a bishop’s galero Vert cords and twelve tassels disposed in three rows of one, two and three all Vert. On a scroll below the shield the motto: “God Is Love - Dios Es Amor”.

EXPLANATION: The personal coat of arms assumed by Bishop Sweeney combines symbols that are meaningful to him reflecting his spiritual life and priestly ministry. The terms dexter (right) and sinister (left) must be understood as being from the perspective of one holding the shield from behind. Therefore, to those viewing it from the front those terms are reversed. On the left from the viewer’s perspective, is the coat of arms of the Diocese of Pat- erson. The main charge, the Paschal Lamb holding the banner of victory, is the symbol for St. John the Baptist, the titular of the Cathedral. It was John who said: “Behold the lamb of THE MYSTERY OF FAITH A COMMUNITY MASS Richard Proulx God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:12). The trefoil, more commonly called a shamrock is a symbol of St. Patrick. The silver (white) division line with a crenelated upper edge represents the Lord’s protection of the city (and diocese). On the right from the viewer’s perspective is the coat of arms assumed by Bishop Sweeney upon being named a bishop. It is joined (impaled) on the same shield with those of the diocese to indicate that Bishop Sweeney possesses jurisdiction over the diocese and that he is symbolically “married” to it. This manner of combining two coats of arms on the same shield is the method of marshaling that has been used for centuries by two armigerous people who get married. The two main colors of the coat of arms are blue and gold (yellow) borrowing from AMEN A COMMUNITY MASS Richard Proulx the coat of arms of St. John Paul II whose life and pontificate greatly influenced the voca- tion and ministry of Bishop Sweeney. The main charge on the lower gold (yellow) field is a red escallop shell. This is a symbol of St. James, the titular of the Cathedral-Basilica in Brooklyn, and is borrowed from the coat of arms of the Diocese of Brooklyn where Bishop Sweeney was born and raised, educated and ordained a priest prior to becoming a bishop. There are three blue drops of water falling below the shell which make the shell also a sym- bol of St. John the Baptist, the titular of the cathedral in Paterson.

In addition, this charge emphasizes the importance of Baptism as our incorporation into LAYING ON OF HANDS AND PRAYER OF ORDINATION the Body of Christ and the call to holiness that is received by all followers of Jesus. The upper part of the shield, is colored blue and contains two silver (white) horizontal lines as Cardinal Tobin lays hands on the head of the elect in silence; all well as a golden rose. The white lines against the blue background allude to the distinctive Bishops present then do the same. blue and white habit worn by St. Teresa of Calcutta, the foundress of the Missionaries of Charity. This saintly woman also had a profound influence on Bishop Sweeney and he At the conclusion of the Prayer of Ordination, all sing: wished to commemorate her as a saint to whom he looks for inspiration in his priestly, and episcopal ministry. The golden rose is a symbol of Our Lady. The gold (yellow) rose alludes to Our Lady of Knock in particular and by this the bishop honors his Irish heritage. However, the rose also has a double symbolism in that it is an allusion to Our Lady of Gua- dalupe, patroness of the Americas. In connection with the appearance of Our Lady to Juan Diego a miraculous blooming of roses in December occurred so this flower, regardless of its color, is associated with Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Kevin James Sweeney was born January 17, 1970 in Elmhurst, Queens, New York and is a lifelong resident of the Brooklyn Diocese. He is the son of James P. Sweeney and Agnes T. Blewitt, who emigrated from County Mayo, Ireland as young adults. Bishop Sweeney honors their memory as the Chaplain of the Mayo Society of New York. His sister Marie and her husband Kevin Shanahan live with their three children Kaitlin, Brendan and Kiera in Floral Park, New York. His brother Brendan Sweeney and his wife Tara (O’Dwyer) live with their sons, Ben and Colin, also in Floral Park. He also has a maternal aunt, Nora Blewitt, who lives in Tenafly, New Jersey.

Bishop Sweeney grew up in the Whitestone section of Queens and was baptized at Saint Luke’s Church. He attended Saint Luke’s Grammar School and then moved on to Cathedral Prep High School and Seminary in Elmhurst, graduating in 1988. For his prowess on the baseball diamond he was inducted into Cathedral Prep’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013. He continued his formation at Cathedral Seminary House of Formation in Douglaston, Queens, while matriculating at Saint John’s University. He continues to be an avid fan of Saint John’s Red Storm athletic teams. Sweeney continued his education at Immaculate Conception Seminary, Huntington, from which he received the Master of Divinity degree in 1997. During his college and seminary years, his professed loyalty for the New York Yankees notwithstanding, Sweeney en- gaged in summer employment at the concessions stand at Shea Stadium (1988-1997) and as an elevator operator at the Mark Hotel in Manhattan (1988-1989). Following the formation program of the Brooklyn Diocese, Sweeney spent a pastoral year from September 1994 to May 1995 at Saint Agatha’s Parish, Brooklyn, followed by an intensive Spanish immersion program at Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Repub- lic in the summer of 1995, the first of three such opportunities he would have.

Sweeney was ordained a priest for the Brooklyn Diocese by Bishop Thomas V. Daily at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint James on June 28, 1997. His first assignment was as parochial vicar at Saint Nicholas of Tolentine, a large parish in Jamaica, Queens where he served for six years. His second summer at Tolentine (1998) was spent in a Spanish immersion program in Costa Rica. He also served for two years in this period (1999-2001) as Coordinator of the Diocesan Irish Apostolate. In 2003 he was transferred to Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, Corona, Queens and spent the summer at LaVega, Dominican Republic.

RITE OF ORDINATION Sweeney’s reputation for working with young people prompted Bishop Nicholas VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS Mode VIII DiMarzio, the newly installed Bishop of Brooklyn (October 2003) to appoint him as Diocesan Vocations Director in 2004. His six years in the Vocations Office also included a brief stint (2005) as Chaplain of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, Brooklyn. As with the Spanish immersion programs, Sweeney’s time as Vocation Director broadened his understanding of the national and international Church.

In January 2010, Bishop DiMarzio named Sweeney Administrator of Saint Michael’s Parish in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn. Two years later in March 2012 he was named Pastor of Saint Michael’s. He continued working with young people, however, as the Spiritual Director (2010-2013) of Jovenes de Valor, a Hispanic youth movement. During his Saint Michael’s decade Sweeney’s age and experience propelled him into a growing number of diocesan responsibilities, including membership on the Seminarians’ Admission Board (2010-2020), the diocesan Presbyteral Council (2011-2016), the diocesan Clergy Personnel Assignment Board (2017-2020), and as Dean of Brooklyn B-8 Deanery (2013-2020). He is also a member of the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants, a pro-life group founded in Brooklyn by Monsignor Philip Reilly in 1993.

In the Corona19 pandemic, Sunset Park, Brooklyn has been one of the hardest hit neighborhoods in the United States and Saint Michael’s Parish has been a beacon of compassion in that struggle. In the midst of that specialized pastoral ministry it was announced on April 15, 2020 that Pope Francis had named Saint Michael’s pastor, Kevin J. Sweeney as Eighth Bishop of Paterson in succession to Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli whose retirement from the See was accepted by the Holy Father on that date. Bishop-elect Sweeney is to be ordained and installed in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Paterson on July 1, 2020 by Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R., Metropolitan

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION NEW MASS FOR JOHN CARROLL BISHOPS OF THE DIOCESE OF PATERSON

Bishop Thomas Henry McLaughlin, S.T.D. (1881-1947) culminated his quarter-century academic career as President of Seton Hall College (1922-1933) and Rector of Immaculate Conception Seminary (1922-1937). In 1935 he was named Newark’s first Auxiliary Bishop, and two years later was named First Bishop of Paterson. Despite World War II, McLaughlin plunged enthusiastically into the work of establishing the new diocese, creating ten new parishes, opening the first diocesan high school, Pope Pius XII, Passaic in 1939, and organizing a comprehensive diocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

He is buried in Sacred Heart Cathedral Basilica Crypt in Newark.

Bishop James Aloysius McNulty (1900-1972) was ordained with his brother John (later presi- dent of ) at Louvain in 1925. Unlike his predecessors, his Newark career was mainly institutional with responsibility for organizing C.Y.O., completing Sacred Heart Cathedral, and starting an archdiocesan newspaper, The Advocate. Ordained Auxiliary Bishop of Newark in 1947, he was named Third Bishop of Paterson in 1953. In a pre-Vatican II diocesan “Golden Age,” McNulty opened fourteen churches and three high schools, began the Hispanic Ministry, sent Paterson missionaries to Latin America, and put Paterson in the forefront of the nascent li- turgical movement. In May 1963 McNulty was named Bishop of Buffalo, New York. He died at Saint Vincent’s Hospital, Montclair on September 4, 1972. He is buried at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in East Hanover, New Jersey.

Bishop James Johnston Navagh (1901-1965) was a Buffalo priest whose career included stints as a diocesan rural missionary in southwestern New York, Auxiliary Bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina and Bishop of Ogdensburg, New York. In 1950 he published his pastoral approach in The Apostolic Parish. Installed as Fourth Bishop of Paterson in May, 1963, he died at the Second Vatican Council just twenty-nine months later. Despite the brevity of his episcopate, he opened five new parishes, two high schools, and a diocesan minor seminary. Having always worked with the poor, he greatly expanded the diocesan Hispanic outreach. Coming from outside the

Bishop Frank Joseph Rodimer, J.C.D. (1927-2018) was appointed Sixth Bishop of Paterson in December 1977, the youngest ordinary of the See, and the first native son to head the diocese. Previously he had combined an active pastoral career with a quarter-century on the diocesan chancery staff. The Rodimer years saw a combination of population growth and an expanded liturgical awareness, which resulted in the founding of ten new parishes, the building of twenty new churches, and the complete renovation of another twenty-five churches. Most notable of these was the renovation of the Cathedral for the Diocesan Golden Jubilee in December 1987. Twice Bishop Rodimer has led major diocesan campaigns raising tens of millions of dollars to endow leadership training, and the educational and social outreaches of the diocese. Bishop Rodimer retired in June, 2004, and died at Saint Joseph’s Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor, READING II 2 Corintios 4: 1-2, 5-7 Totowa on December 6, 2018.

(and striking their breast they say)

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;

(then they continue:) GLORIA Carroll Thomas Andrews

therefore I ask Blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

KYRIE Norah Duncan
