As Bishop of the neighboring Diocese, I write to extend our congratulations and prayerful best wishes to the new Bishop of Metuchen, the Most Reverend Michael Saporito, 64, currently Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Newark. Bishop Saporito was ordained a priest of the same Archdiocese in 1992 and subsequently consecrated auxiliary bishop in 2020. Congratulations, Bishop Saporito, as you assume your new responsibilities in the Diocese of Metuchen.
Most Reverend David M. O’Connell, C.M.
