ATLEC Francophone Track

Cette piste, comme toutes les autres de notre Congrès eucharistique, a pour but de créer une connexion plus profonde avec Jésus et sa présence réelle dans l’Eucharistie. Cet événement est un rassemblement de milliers de croyants, qui célèbre l’énorme don de Jésus-Christ, présent à nous tel qu’il a promis qu’il serait, “jusqu’à la fin des temps“. Certaines pistes, comme celle-ci, sont configurées pour être spécifiques à la langue afin que la population diversifiée de notre Église locale ait un accès complet, dans leur langue maternelle, aux orateurs invités à participer.

Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Brooklyn

Guy A. Sansaricq was born October 6, 1934, in Jeremie, Haiti. He studied for the priesthood at the diocesan seminary of the Jeremie Diocese and at St. Paul’s Pontifical Semirary in Ottawa, Canada. He was ordained a priest in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in 1960.

After serving as chaplain for Haitians in the Bahamas, where he became especially aware of the plight of immigrants, Father Sansaricq studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, where he received a master’s degree in l971. That same year he was accepted into the Diocese of Brooklyn and was assigned to Sacred Heart Parish in Brooklyn, where he served for 22 years. During that time he was also appointed diocesan coordinator of the Haitian Apostolate. In l987, he was selected by the U.S. Catholic bishops to head the National Haitian Apostolate.

In l993, he was named pastor of St. Jerome’s Church in Brooklyn. He was named a Prelate of Honor by Pope John Paul II in l999, and appointed auxiliary bishop of Brooklyn on June 6, 2006.

Bishop Sansaricq is the only Haitian-American bishop in the United States.

In 2009 when Bishop Sansaricq reached the retirement age of 75, he handed his letter of resignation to the Congregation for Bishops. Pope Benedict XVI will accept it at his pleasure. His age induced resignation was formally accepted on 6 October 2010, Bishop Sansaricq’s 76th birthday. Although he is retired he remains very active in the Diocese of Brooklyn.
