History was made at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Tuesday. Hundreds packed the church to watch Joseph Espaillat of the Bronx become a bishop. He's now New York's first Dominican bishop, and at 45 years of age, the youngest in the country. KevRincon reports.
Espaillat was named an auxiliary bishop by Pope Francis. He joked about the call he got with that news, a call he refused to answer.
"For us, it's just amazingly a proud moment, a milestone not only for us in Washington Heights, the Dominican community, and all the youth, all the youth," resident Zeitlin Perez said.She said in Spanish that Espaillat's appointment was well deserved, adding the first time she saw him she was enamored. She also said there's also a pride knowing he's Dominican.
