Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Sean O'Malley, celebrated Palm Sunday Mass at Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Church. His blessing rebounded as members of the Waltham High School hockey team presented him with a T-Shirt, commemorating their MIAA State Championship win. Faith and family relationships were acknowledged as central aspects to the success of the winning team. The Cardinal was also gifted a T-Shirt from Our Lady's Academy Wildcats Basketball.

"It’s wonderful to see that these young people are becoming involved," said Cardinal O'Malley. "I know they will certainly be leaders in their parishes in the future."
