We congratulate Brother Francisco (Paco) Chavez, C.S.C. and Rev. Mr. Alfredo Hernandez, C.S.C., of the District of Peru, who professed final vows in the Congregation of Holy Cross. Additionally, Alfredo was ordained a transitional deacon. We wish them both many blessings in their ministries.


Recently Father Kevin Spicer, CSC, a faculty member at Stonehill College, published "Resisting the Third Reich: The Catholic Clergy in Hitler's Berlin." This book is the result of extensive research conducted by Fr. Spicer in the archives of the Berlin Diocese as part of his doctoral thesis for his Ph.D. from Boston College.


Two new pastors have been named in recent months. We offer our best wishes to Fr. Bill Kelley, CSC, who has been named pastor of St. Mary Parish in Taunton, MA by Bishop George Coleman of the Fall River Diocese, as well as Fr. Bob Lozinski, CSC, who has been named pastor of St. Michael Byzantine Catholic Church in Dunmore, PA by the Most Rev. Andrew Pataki of the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Passaic.


On Tuesday, September 29, 2004, Father Walter Jenkins, CSC, will be formally installed as Principal of Bishop Hoban High School in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Congratulations, Fr. Jenkins!
