Victorious Softball Team Celebrates

A couple days ago I was privileged to attend a wonderful dinner in honor of our victorious Saint John's Softball Team. You may recall that a little while back (and for the second year running!) SJS defeated the "Blessed John XXIII Relics" (yes, that is the name they chose!) in our annual softball outing. Admittedly, it was a miracle no one drowned in the course of the game through the rain and the mud, but a great time was had by all! I was deeply touched to receive this autographed softball as a remembrance of that happy day!

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.
