Changes at the end of summer…

I am grateful to Sister Jeanne Gribaudo, CSJ, who has served as a valued faculty member of the Theological Institute and as an advisor to me on a variety of concerns, including our thriving development program. Sister Jeanne has been asked to take a position as pastoral associate at St. Agatha Parish in Milton and will be teaching at Merrimack College in the Fall. She will be dearly missed and goes forth with the prayers and best wishes of the entire Saint John’s Seminary community.

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.
