An Anniversary, A Canvas Wrap and A Candidacy

I was honored to celebrate my Thirty-Fifth Anniversary as priest just a couple weeks before the end of the semester.

Here's an ingenious take-off from one of our canvas wraps taken at the Closing Picnic

(just before the Eschatological Bocci Tournament!)

Bishop Edyvean was the celebrant for our Candidacy Celebration for seventeen of our men.

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.
