MONSIGNOR WOY’S MESSAGE FOR THE WEEK

TOP THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS WEEK:

Dear Friends,

Lots of life and energy returned to campus this past Tuesday when the School of the Cathedral opened its doors for a new

academic year. The parish is blessed to have a Catholic school as

part of its mission, and the school is blessed by the families whose

children attend the school. Of course, a school’s faculty is key to its

ultimate success. This year, middle school teacher Lauren

Schmitt has been recognized by the Archdiocesan Department of

Schools as “Teacher of the Year at the School of the

Cathedral.” Lauren teaches religion and English Language Arts and is a favorite of the students. Congratulations, Lauren, and thank you

for all you do for the students at SCMOQ.

This weekend we welcome a new learning team from St.

Mary’s Seminary. Deacon Jonathan Kuhar is from the diocese

of Scranton and is a practicing attorney. José Carvajal is a native of

Colombia and is studying for the diocese of Worcester. In his

former life, José was a school principal. And we welcome back

David Wang, a native of China, who spent the summer with us as

he prepared to enter his first year of theological studies. Please give

Jonathan, José, and David a warm welcome to our Cathedral family.

Next Saturday, September 14 is the 7th Annual Haiti Carnavale

in support of our sister parish of St. Charles Borromeo Cathedral in

Gonaives, Haiti. This event is one of the nicest events of the year,

with plenty of family fun in support of a very worthy cause. Please

go to our webpage for details and registration.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word CLOW returns next Sunday at the 9:30 Mass. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to

Cathy Lobo (clobo@cmoq.org) and Brigid Wilder

(bwilder@cmoq.org) for coordinating and managing CLOW. But

the HELP WANTED sign is up, especially for adult assistance for

Cathy and Brigid – they would like a Sunday off once in a while! If

running down the aisle again!
