Timeline

1934

Guy A. Sansaricq (October 6, 1934 – August 21, 2021) was a Haitian-American prelate of the Catholic Church who served as auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn in New York from 2006 to 2010.

1960

On June 29, 1960, he was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Les Cayes in Haiti in the cathedral in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Sansaricq was first assigned to the staff of the cathedral in Les Cayes.

After training there, he worked for seven years as a chaplain for Haitian immigrants in the Bahamas.

There he developed his understanding of the plight of emigrants, especially the undocumented.

When he completed that assignment, the government of Jean Claude Duvalier refused him reentry into Haiti.

1964

Many of his relatives died in a massacre, the Vêpres de Jérémie or Jérémie Vespers, under the Duvalier regime in August 1964.

1970

In the 1970s, he and other Haitian-born priests working in the U.S. founded the National Center of the Haitian Apostolate (NCHA).

1971

He was given a scholarship to study social sciences at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, where he received a master's degree in 1971 after four years of study.

In 1971 he moved to the Diocese of Brooklyn and was made coordinator of the Brooklyn Diocese's Haitian Apostolate.

He was assigned to Sacred Heart parish in Cambria Heights where he served for 22 years.

1988

He headed the Office of the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Refugees of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops from 1988 to 2021.

He was the first Haitian-born bishop of the Catholic Church in the United States.

He was an emblematic figure in advocating the rights of Haitian immigrants and the undocumented, as well as an ardent opponent of the Duvalier dictatorship.

Sansaricq was born in Jérémie, Haiti, into a Catholic family.

He attended the seminary of the Jeremie Diocese for five years, after which he received a scholarship to St. Paul's Pontifical Seminary in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, where he studied philosophy and theology for seven years.

In October 1988, the NCHA was affiliated with the newly created Office of the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Refugees of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Sansaricq was named to head that office, a position he held until his death.

1993

In 1993, he became pastor of St. Jerome's Church in Flatbush, Brooklyn.

1999

He was named Prelate of Honour by Pope John Paul II in 1999.

2000

In March 2000, he joined ten other religious leaders in confronting New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Police Commissioner Howard Safir following the accidental shooting of an unarmed Haitian-American man, Patrick M. Dorismond, in a scuffle with undercover police officers.

Sansaricq had officiated at Dorismond's funeral that concluded with a violent altercation with the police.

2006

On June 6, 2006, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him auxiliary bishop of Brooklyn and titular bishop of Glenndálocha.

He received his episcopal consecration on 22 August from Bishop Nicholas Anthony DiMarzio alongside two other new auxiliaries for the diocese.

As a bishop Sansaricq published a quarterly newsletter on Haitian matters and the Church, conducted a pastoral institute in Creole that attracted 90 students annually, organized an annual convention of the Haitian Apostolate, and coordinated an annual retreat for priests and a yearly youth congress.

He was also a co-founder of Haitian-Americans for Progress, a service agency, and founded a Haitian based Media Service (Tele-Solidarite).

2010

Sansaricq submitted his resignation as required upon reaching the age of 75, and Pope Benedict accepted it on 6 October 2010, his 76th birthday.

He remained very active in retirement.

Sansaricq died suddenly on the morning of August 21, 2021, the eve of the 15th anniversary of his episcopal ordination, in the rectory at St. Gregory the Great Church in Crown Heights.
