Commencement Exercises for the Theological Institute

Yesterday afternoon we celebrated the fifteenth Commencement of the Theological Institute for the New Evangelization. A packed chapel congratulated all those who received a Masters in Ministry or a Masters in Theological Studies degree! Our grateful prayers and good wishes go with our latest alumna and alumni and our deepest thanks to Father O'Connor, Dr. Aldonna Lingertat, Dr. Steven Fahrig and the entire faculty and staff of the Theological Institute.

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.
