The Paterson Diocese Federation Knights of Columbus held its annual “Pride in Our Priests” dinner at Hanover Manor in East Hanover on Nov. 25. Traditionally, every November, the Paterson Federation encourages all its member councils of the diocese to invite priests from their parishes to attend the dinner held in their honor as a way of thanking the priests for their service to the Church, the diocese, their parish, and the community. Bishop Sweeney joined the federation in honoring the priests at the dinner. Also in attendance were Bishop Kurt Burnette of the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Passaic, and Bishop Emeritus Paul Bootkoski of the Metuchen Diocese, the knights’ state chaplain.
