Bishop Dennis J. Sullivan, a top administrator in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, will be the next bishop of Camden, N.J., the Vatican announced on Tuesday.
Bishop Sullivan, who is currently the vicar general of the New York Archdiocese, will succeed Bishop Joseph A. Galante. Bishop Galante, who has led the Camden Diocese since 2004, is retiring due to failing health, according to the Vatican. The Camden Diocese includes six southern New Jersey counties that are home to about 500,000 Catholics, the Vatican said.
A 67-year-old Bronx native, Bishop Sullivan attended elementary school in St. Anthony’s parish in the Bronx. The school is among 26 being considered this month for closing by the New York Archdiocese.
