(Ramsey, N.J. – December 11) – On Monday, December 9, Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey welcomed back
Fr. Walter Genito, an alumnus from the Class of 2011, to celebrate the school
Mass for the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Fr. Walter was ordained in May for the archdiocese of New York by Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
“For Don Bosco, it’s always a blessing when an alumnus returns to
visit,” said Fr. Jim Heuser, SDB, director. “But it’s a special blessing when
an alumnus returns to visit as a priest and celebrates the Eucharist for our
school.”
Fr. Walter’s home parish is Sacred Heart in Suffern, N.Y., where
he attended grammar school before coming to Don Bosco Prep. He earned a
bachelor’s degree in liberal arts, with a major in philosophy, from Fordham
University in New York, and a bachelor’s in theology from the School of
Theology and Religious Studies of the Catholic University of America in
Washington, D.C. Currently he is completing his licentiate in theology at the
Catholic University.
