Our Newest Deacon...

Our own Springfield seminarian Duy Anh Le was ordained to the Diaconate this morning by Bishop Mitchell Rozanski at Saint Paul's Church in Springfield. Also ordained as deacons were Pope Saint John XXIII seminarians Paul Norman and Dennis Skowera. Here the new Deacons are gathered after the ordination with Bishop MacDonald and Bishop Rozanski, Father Kiely and me.

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.
