Dennis Joseph Sullivan (born March 17, 1945) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as vicar general and auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of New York until he replaced Bishop Joseph Galante as Bishop of the Diocese of Camden, New Jersey in 2013. He currently lives in Woodbury, New Jersey.
Dennis Sullivan was born in the Bronx, New York, to John and Hanorah (née Hayes) Sullivan. One of four children, he has two brothers, Jack and Charlie, and one sister, Catherine.
He attended Mount St. Michael Academy before entering Iona College, but left in his sophomore year to study for the priesthood at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers. He earned a Bachelor's degree and a Master's in Divinity from St. Joseph's.
Bishop Sullivan was ordained by Terence Cardinal Cooke on May 29, 1971, and then sent to the Dominican Republic to learn Spanish, so as to better serve the Spanish-speaking Catholics of the Archdiocese of New York. He spent three months in the Dominican Republic, where he "learned to speak Spanish very fast because nobody spoke English."
