Thornwood, NY, February 10, 2011 -- The Archdiocese of New York will be hosting an important event on February 16, 2011, at Our Lady of Thornwood Conference Center in Thornwood, NY.   New York Archbishop and USCCB President Timothy Dolan is expected to attend with more than 250 priests, as well as permanent deacons and seminarians. 

The conference will cover the new translation of the Roman Missal.  The presenter will be Msgr. James Moroney who is on the faculty of St. John’s Seminary in Boston, Massachusetts.  Msgr. Moroney is the former Executive Secretary of the USCCB Secretariat for the Liturgy.  He has spoken at many dioceses about this new Missal translation.

The event will take place in two sessions -- afternoon and evening.  Legionary brothers and priests have been extended an invitation to attend the evening session.

 “It is a great honor for our center to be at the service of our archdiocese and the Church at large,” said Fr. Xavier Castro, LC, rector of the center.
