Faculty Christmas Dinner

As the seminarians complete their exams and depart for Christmas vacation, the faculty gathered for their annual Christmas dinner. A wonderful time was had by all, including, clockwise from the left, Father Briody, Dean Metilly, Father Salocks, Father Scorzello, Father O'Connor, Father Cessario, Father Conn, Father O'Connell and Monsignor Moroney.

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.
