First Theology at Catholic TV

Father Bob Reed of Catholic TV sent me this picture a few days ago of his class in "Introduction to Communications and Media." on the set of the This is the Day program. I'm very excited that the men of First Theology will have an opportunity to learn the skills of proclamation, public speaking and the use of new media which I know will serve them so well as agents of the New Evangelization. Father Reed teaches the classes at the studios of Catholic TV in Watertown. I am very grateful to Father Reed and to the whole staff of Catholic TV for their generosity in helping us to form these great new evangelizers of the Twenty-First Century.

Monsignor James P. Moroney, a priest of the Diocese of Worcester for forty four years, is Pastor of Saint Cecilia Parish in Leominster.

Pope Saint John Paul II and Pope Benedict both appointed him as a Consultor to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in Rome and as Executive Director of the Vox Clara Committee. He is author of THE MASS EXPLAINED (Catholic Book Publishing) which is being published in its third edition this Spring.
