Dio CamdenThe pews of Saint James Church were filled this morning as Nickolas Bruno Naticchione was ordained to the Order of Deacon.
“Rome has its new Bishop. Camden has its new transitional deacon,” said Bishop Joseph A. Williams, referencing Pope Leo XIV, who was elected to the pontificate only two days before.
His words were greeted by hearty applause from those in attendance, which included Bishop Dennis J. Sullivan; Bishop James Massa, rector of Saint Joseph’s Seminary, Yonkers, N.Y.; Father James Worth, Deacon Naticchione’s uncle; dozens of concelebrating priests; deacons; religious; seminary formators and classmates; the Knights of Columbus; Knights and Dames of the Holy Sepulchre; family, and friends.
Deacon Naticchione’s mother, Renea, said she was filled with joy to see her son take this next step on the path to the priesthood. “He’s meant to serve the people of God.”
