Office of the Chancellor
Canonical Wisdom In The Heart Of Brooklyn
Overview
The Office of the Chancellor is a pivotal entity in the Diocese of Brooklyn, offering essential guidance in the governance and pastoral care of the diocese. Staffed by experienced professionals deeply versed in Canon Law, the office assists the Bishop and the Vicar General in navigating the complex canonical legislation that governs the Church’s activities.
A Beacon of Canonical Expertise
Under the leadership of Rev. Msgr. Steven Aguggia, alongside the Vice Chancellors Rev. Jeremias Castillo and Rev. Robert Mucci, the office is a reservoir of canonical expertise. The Chancellor acts as a delegate of the Diocesan Bishop, granting necessary permissions and dispensations in line with Canon Law. From sacramental records to diocesan archives, the team ensures that every aspect of church governance is handled with precision and in conformity with ecclesiastical norms.
Accessible Guidance for the Faithful
While the Chancellor’s office is instrumental in ensuring the smooth operation of the Diocese’s canonical affairs, it remains accessible and service-oriented. Parishioners seeking dispensations or guidance are encouraged to first contact their parish priests, who can then liaise with the Chancery for further assistance.
Team of Dedicated Servants
The Chancellor’s office is not just about laws and records; it’s about people dedicated to the service of the Church. With America Michelle Granillo, Janny Ortiz, Taishiry Salazar, and Arlenys Severino enhancing the team’s efficiency, the office extends its reach to every corner of the diocese, ensuring that the legal and pastoral needs of the communities are met with compassion and expertise.
