Fr. Paul Wickens' St. Anthony's Chapel has been regularized and Fr. Perricone has been named its pastor.Source.
Fr. John Perricone, Pastor of OL Mt. Carmel (Orange, NJ), announced at all of the Masses today that his duties are being "expanded" to act as pastor of St. Anthony's Chapel, W. Orange, NJ during "its time of transition."
St. Anthony's was founded by the late Fr. Paul Wickens and was an independent chapel since its founding.
This announcement appears to indicate that Abp. Myers has indeed been gracious to traditionalists. The Mass at Holy Rosary, Jersey City, NJ continues, although that parish is on a list of parishes to be closed. The exact canonical status of St. Anthony's has yet to be announced. Fr. Perricone will be introduced to his new flock next Sunday.
This site is dedicated to promoting and defending the Catholic Faith, in union with Christ and His Church and in union with the authentic Holy Father, the faithful successor of St. Peter.

An Update on Fr. Perricone...?
This has yet to be confirmed, but perhaps someone closer to NJ can validate it.
