Father Jose Henriquez of the Brooklyn Diocese delivered the homily at the June 8 Mass, which several priests concelebrated. Bishop Emeritus Raymond F. Chappetto, who retired from the Brooklyn Diocese, attended in choir. Some of Father Harfmann’s loved ones participated in the liturgy.
Father Harfmann has been assigned as parochial vicar of St. Anthony Parish in Hawthorne to start his priestly ministry.
