Msgr. Valentino In early fall, the 1979-1980 school year commenced with a concelebrated mass of the R.B.C. community led by the newly des- ignated Monsignor Frederick A. Valentino. A spirit of unity and togetherness prevailed during this ceremony due to this rare op- portunity of concelebrating mass with the entire student body. Monsignor Valentino expressed wishes for a fuller unity through community participation. Monsignor's mes- sage to the students was one of deep con- cern for the future preparation in any at- tempted endeavors, as well as in all aspects of life. According to Monsignor Valentino, he achieves his aim of closeness by impress- ing the youth with the true meaning of charity and bringing students to the realiza- tion that unity begins at home. Reverend Frederick A. Valentino having been pastor at St. lames Parish and associ- ated with R.B.C. for the past four years has had bestowed upon him the Prelate of Hon- or by Pope |ohn Paul II, upon the recom- mendations of Bishop George Ahr. With this highly and respected honor, the title of Monsignor has been bestowed upon him This honor commends Monsignor Valen- tino's outstanding accomplishments, ex- cellence in leadership and zeal in which he earnestly fulfills his pastoral duties. We the students, faculty, and adminis- tration of R.B.C. would like to congratulate Monsignor Valentino on his honorary achievement and wish him happiness and all of God's blessings in his priestly career. 12
