We Welcome Father Diego Hernandez

Father Diego Hernandez joins our parish family this week.  Fr. Diego is a 2016 graduate of St. Joseph’s Seminary in Dunwoodie, NY.  He has served as a deacon at St. Patrick’s Cathedral since September, 2016.  He was ordained by Cardinal Timothy Dolan on May 27, 2017.

Fr. Diego knew at a young age that he wanted to become a priest.  After high school he earned degrees in Philosophy and Religious Education at Aquinas College in Colombia.  He was a teacher before coming to the United States in 2012 to study at Cathedral Seminary House of Formation in Douglaston, Queens.  His pastoral assignments have included  St. Barnabas and Our Lady of Mount Carmel in the Bronx, St. Mary’s in Poughkeepsie, Assumption in Peekskill and St Joseph’s in Yonkers. 

Fr. Diego, We are glad to have you as a part of our parish community. May God enrich our lives together as we worship and serve Him.
