We will be commemorating in 2015, the year of the 750th anniversary of the birth of our First High Priest.
Is the part in bold needed? I guess it isn't. However, could some member/s confirm whether I am correct? Furthermore, are there any errors in the sentence?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds much better, but that's just me...
@tanguatlay,
Interesting. The original is correct, but Barbie is right. "The year of . . ." is not needed. Still, it seems to designate the entire year as having a special significance. I would be inclined to leave it in, but if you don't like it, take it out and no harm will be done.
