His unifying presence is sorely missed.
Unfortunately, after building up our wonderful parish, bringing us all together as a community… we now have a critical situation regarding the principal of our school. Small things aside, why is it acceptable for a co- pastor of a parish to , without any reason given, decide not to renew the contract of the principal of our school. Although he made this decision quite a while ago, we are just now finding out (AFTER we’ve all registered our children for the fall term, and too late to even hope to find a spot at another Parochial school in the area). In this economy, Beth Ingeneri has done a phenominal job of unifying our school(parents, teachers, students…) and keeping programs alive as well as possible. Father Jim has not shown up at even one PTO meeting, although he claims the school is his high priority. Of course, how could we expect him to show up on his night off. Mrs. Ingeneri is at every meeting. Rethinking this decision may be wise. It is not the right time to be creating upheaval. We should all work together for our children.

I am sure that you are inspiring many young men and women to consider a vocation to follow in your footsteps just as you are following in the footsteps of the apostles. Warmest regards from Pennsylvania.

Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Patriarch Alexy. It was so very thoughtful of you. I was disappointed with the news coverage on his death. God certainly used him in a mighty way in Russia during very difficult times.

I am a student in the eighth grade at St. Paul School in Hingham, Massachusetts. I just thought that the church in Florida was absolutely beautiful! I have been to a very nice church in Florida similar to that one. They are both magnificent! This week’s blog was very interesting to read… cannot wait for the next one.

I am happy to hear you had a great Thanksgiving. Florida seems so great right now… and I hope your Aunt’s surgery went okay.

The Advent mass you attended seamed very nice. It must of been great to hear Father McLaughlin talk at the dinner afterwards. He must be very nice to become leader of the Archdiocese of Military Leadership! What a great deed he is doing!

Untill your next bolg,

~Megan

I wrote on March 16th about an idea for the Pauline Year, but there was no response. I haven’t really noticed the Pauline Year in my parish or the Diocese at large. I think that there needs to be a lot more thinking “outside the box”. This season of Advent and Christmas is surely an invitation to do that. God is the ultimate example for thinking outside the box, painting outside the lines. Perhaps a thought worthy of reflection this Advent…

Your Thanksgiving seemed very exciting!! I hope you enjoyed it. The pictures of the cruise ships were beautiful. It must have a been a great experience. I will keep you Aunt Marie May in my prayers, and I hope she gets better soon. I can’t wait until next week’s blog!!

I thought this week’s blog was excellent. I think Cardinal Sean’s tradition of meeting and eating with newly ordained priests is a great idea. The pictures of the cruise ships were amazing! I thought it was fun to read about how Cardinal Sean’s aunt sounds here boats horn as a way of communication.

John McLaughlin. I’ve been a member of St. Monica’s in Methuen for more than 30 years. Fr. John is missed, but we are a truly blessed parish in that we have lost Fr. John but gained co-pastors Fr. James Clark and Fr. Patrick Armano. These priests are working hard to make St. Monica’s a sacred place of worship as well as offering various workshops of study on the bible and catechism. They are truly holy priests and we thank you, Cardinal Sean, for sending them to us!!

This blog was very interesting. I am so happy you were able to visit your family for Thanksgiving! I hope you had a great time with them. It must have been unbelievably beautiful to watch the cruise ships pass by. I really enjoyed the pictures you shared of them. I would also like to write that I will be praying for your Aunt Marie May so that she may have a healthy recovery. God Bless.

I am very glad that you had a nice Thanksgiving with your family. It is really important to spend time with family on holidays like Thanksgiving. I spent Thanksgiving with my family and had a great time. It is not everyday that you can give thanks to God and be with all of your family members. I can not wait for your next blog.

Hi! My name is Johnny Stillman and I attend St. Paul School in Hingham, Massachusetts. I was in Florida over Thanksgiving also. I was in Naples visiting my grandparents, but we drove to Tampa. I think that is close to Miami? On an other note I loved reading your blog this week. The pictures of the cruise ship going out of the dock were very cool. I traveled on a cruise ship like one of those last year and they are huge. Well Cardinal Sean I hope you had a great time in Florida and I hope to see your new blog again next week.

Once again, great blog! I think it is great that you have such a close – knit family! Seeing that cruise ship must of been unbelievable…. what a sight!! Reading through your blog, I noticed a blurb in domestic violence. I think it is an important movement tat more people should become involved in!

Thanks Cardinal Sean!!

I too love spending time with my family; One of 8 children and many nieces and nephews. It was truly wonderful. I am so blessed.
I noticed you visited two of my former parishes; St. Theresa’s ; the parish I grew up in and Holy Name; the parish I was in when I first got married. God Bless you Cardinal Sean!

I just wanted to say that I think it’s great that even in your busy schedule you seem to find time to blog about you adventures. I really like that paragraph about AlexyII because he was from Russian to my understanding and even if you might not have known him you still paid you condolences because he was you brother.

You are remembered in my prayers. Three Masses will be offered in St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center Chapel, Paterson, NJ for you and the people of the Archdiocese of Boston, December 20, 21 and 22.

I enjoy reading about the times you spend with your family. I especially enjoy the pictures. It was quite a gathering, good thing so many are in Florida where you can gather outside. How is your grandnephew in Colorado? I adore the picture of you holding him. Is he still the youngest O’Malley? Enjoy Advent, although it is busy, it’s such a happy time. Now that I’m an adult, all the fun for me of the season is in Advent: the decorations, music, and all that prepares us for the Birth.

Blessings,
Mary O.

When I would print out your blog so that she could see your pictures,she would always comment on your wonderful smile, how she could hear your laughter just by looking at your picture, and how much she loved, as she always said, your “cute” belly. Thank you for being so wonderful to my family, you are always in our thoughts and prayers.
