New York - The Catholic priest who for decades had been one of the Vatican’s top experts on the Latin language died on Christmas Day at a nursing home in Milwaukee. A United Methodist Church bishop in the West African nation of Sierra Leone died in a traffic accident in August as he was engaged in efforts to resolve the denomination’s conflicts over inclusion of LGBTQ people. Back in March, a 49-year-old priest in Brooklyn became the first Catholic cleric in the United States killed by the coronavirus. They were among many religious leaders some admired worldwide, others beloved only locally who died in 2020. Here are some of them.

Event Also Honors Father Ortiz-Garay, First Priest in the U.S. to Die From COVID-19
PROSPECT HEIGHTS Pandemic precautions curbed attendance Dec. 12 for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Still, the people celebrating at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph resembled a standing-room-only crowd, radiating joy and praise for Jesus’ Mother.
The 220 attendees also paid loving honor to the late Father Jorge Ortiz-Garay, former director of the Mexican Apostolate for the Diocese of Brooklyn, who died in March of COVID-19.
Father Ortiz-Garay, a beloved pastor at St. Brigid’s Church, Bushwick, had been the annual feast organizer. It is held to commemorate the Blessed Virgin Mary’s apparition before the indigenous Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac, Mexico.
