Welcoming Father Lazarus

Father Lazarus Anondee, Coordinator for the National Catholic Service Center of the Bishops' Conference of Ghana was our honored guest this week. Father was very kind to welcome Fathers O'Conner and Riley several weeks ago during their visit to Ghana. He is pictured here with seminarian Matthew Conley and Monsignor Moroney (in summer Rector's attire).

Monsignor James P. Moroney, a priest of the Diocese of Worcester for forty four years, is Pastor of Saint Cecilia Parish in Leominster. He served for many years as Executive Director of the USCCB Secretariat for Divine Worship in Washington D.C., as Rector of Saint John's Seminary in Boston, and as Pastor of Mary Queen of the Rosary Parish in Spencer and as Rector of Saint Paul's Cathedral in Worcester. 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.
