Dear Friends,

I am grateful to so many of you for your prayers and support over the past weeks and to ask you to pray to the Lord for my Mother, Marguerite Mary Moroney, who died last night.

The wake will be on Wednesday night at Callahan-Fay Funeral Home, 61 Myrtle Street in Worcester from 6:00-8:00pm.  The Funeral Mass will be on Thursday morning at 10:00am at the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul, 38 High Street in Worcester.  Burial and Commital will be at Saint John’s Cemetery, followed by a reception in the Cenacle back at the Cathedral of Saint Paul.

Priests planning to concelebrate are asked are asked to bring an alb and white stole.  Also, if you plan to concelebrate please reply to this e-mail so that we may plan for your presence.  

If you have classes or other commitments which prevent you from being with us for these liturgical celebrations, I ask you to please join us in prayer.  Members of the Rector’s Advisory Council are dispensed from classes in order to represent the Seminary at the Funeral.

If you have any questions, please reply to this email or call Joanne Murphy-Abbott, my Executive Secretary, at 617-746-5411.

My sister and I thank you for your kind prayers, that the Lord who sent his only Son to bring us eternal life might, in his mercy, send his angels to lead my mother home to heaven.

In The Lord,


Monsignor James P. Moroney
