Biography
Early life
Neil Tiedemann was born on March 5, 1948, in Brooklyn, New York, but was raised in Long Island. He graduated from Holy Cross Seminary, a minor seminary operated by the Congregation of the Passion in Dunkirk, New York. Tiedemann then attended Holy Family Seminary in West Hartford Connecticut. He graduated from LaSalle University in Philadelphia in 1970 with a Bachelor of Sociology degree.[1] Tiedemann professed to the Congregation of the Passion on August 22, 1971, and made his final vows to them on August 22, 1974.[2][1]
Priesthood
On May 16, 1975, Tiedemann was ordained to the priesthood for the Passionists by Bishop Francis John Mugavero in Brooklyn.[2] That same year, Tiedemann received a Master of Theology degree and a Master of Divinity degree from St. John’s University in New York City.[1]
The Passionists first assigned Tiedemann as parochial vicar at Immaculate Conception Parish in Queens, New York. During this period, he also worked for Catholic Charities. In 1982, Tiedemann left Immaculate Conception to work at St. Joseph Parish in Union City, New Jersey, and Blessed Sacrament in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Passionists then sent him to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where he helped found Casa Pasionista, an HIV/AIDS hospice.[1]
Bishop of Mandeville
On May 2, 2008, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Tiedemann as bishop of Mandeville. He was consecrated by Archbishop Donald Reece at Saint Paul of the Cross Cathedral in Mandeville, Jamaica on August 6, 2008.[2]
Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn
Pope Francis appointed Tiedemann as an auxiliary bishop of Brooklyn on April 29, 2016; he was installed on August 4, 2016.[3][4] As auxiliary bishop, he was assigned as pastor of St. Matthias Parish in Queens. He also served as the vicar for West Indian, Caribbean, and African-American Catholics[1]
Retirement
Tiedemann submitted his resignation to Pope Francis after reaching his 75th birthday. The pope accepted it on June 30, 2023.[5]
