Paulist Fr. Matthew Berrios is now settled in as associate pastor of our mother church, the Church of Saint Paul the Apostle, in New York City.

Here’s a look back at Fr. Matt’s “Mass of Thanksgiving” or “First Mass” on May 21, 2017, at St. Paul’s, NYC. It coincided with the parish’s regular Sunday Mass at 12:30 p.m., which is celebrated in Spanish.

The homily was given by Paulist Fr. Frank DeSiano, president of Paulist Evangelization Ministries and our seminary’s director of formation.
