January Retreat

Last week Archbishop Terrance Prendergast, SJ, Archbishop of Ottawa, presented a wonderful retreat during some frigidly cold days at the Franciscan Retreat House in Kennebunkport, Maine. I am deeply grateful to Monsignor John McLaughlin for his typical skill and hard work in putting this all together. Here are a couple photos from my opening Rector's Conference and the closing Mass.

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.
