Lawsuit accuses Brooklyn bishop of sex abuse in Jersey City decades ago Abbott Koloff, NorthJersey.com
One of two men who have accused Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of sexually abusing them as children in Jersey City decades ago has filed a lawsuit based on allegations that he made public last year.
The suit, filed last week in New Jersey Superior Court, alleges that DiMarzio sexually abused the man repeatedly when he was a 6-year-old boy at Holy Rosary parish in 1979 and 1980. The accuser, Samier Tadros, who lives in Florida, went public with the allegation in 2020, months after another man publicly alleged that he had been abused by DiMarzio at another Jersey City parish in the 1970s.

WINDSOR TERRACE Gifts from the Diocese of Brooklyn arrived just in time for Christmas at the historic Cathedral of St. Anne in Anse-à-Veau, Haiti.
However, these items were much too big to be placed in stockings and hung by the chimney with care. Instead, huge metal shipping crates held dozens of heavy, oak church pews donated to the cathedral from the Diocese of Brooklyn’s Office of Patrimony.

Bishop DiMarzio leads the faithful at Mass on Ash Wednesday
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN This Ash Wednesday, priests and bishops across the Diocese of Brooklyn imposed ashes in a new way due to the ongoing pandemic.
Under Pope Francis’ recommendation, ashes were sprinkled on worshippers’ heads instead of drawing the sign of the cross on the forehead.
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, who celebrated the Ash Wednesday Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. James on Feb. 17, spoke about how challenging the past year has been due to the pandemic. However, he noted, Lent is a time for renewing faith, hope, and love, as well as for believing and welcoming God into our lives.
