Our Lady of Hope’s local loss is the greater Brooklyn Diocese’s gain. As of January 30, Fr. Peter Purpura is now chancellor of the Brooklyn Diocese. He will remain pastor of Our Lady of Hope through June and an FDNY chaplain indefinitely. In his new role, he will be responsible for overseeing the documentation of ecclesiastical acts, managing diocesan records and archives and advising the bishop. Congratulations, Father Peter and best wishes.
