Newark
Bishop Named to Head Camden Diocese (Newark, NJ) Archbishop Theodore E. McCarrick applauded the appointment today of Newark Auxiliary Bishop Nicholas A. DiMarzio as Bishop of the Diocese of Camden, NJ by Pope John Paul II. The Archbishop released the following statement regarding the appointment of Bishop DiMarzio. "The appointment of Bishop Nicholas A. DiMarzio as Bishop of Camden is, of course, a great joy for me and the Presbyterate of the Church of Newark. Bishop DiMarzio is an outstanding priest and bishop and has served with great skill and generosity both here in the Archdiocese and in the national office of our Bishops Conference. "In a personal sense for me his promotion is bitter-sweet, since I will miss him very much. Not only in his responsibility as Regional Bishop for Essex County and Vicar for Human Services has he been an enormous support, but in his guidance of Cathedral Healthcare System he has played a unique role in guaranteeing the continuing Catholic Health Care Apostolate in this area. "The Church of Camden is very fortunate to have him as their new Bishop and Newark is blessed that another of our sons is given this challenging new responsibility. "Our prayers and gratitude go with him." +Theodore
