Rabbi Jagolinzer to receive prestigious award

Rabbi Marc S. Jagolinzer

Rabbi Marc S. Jagolinzer, spiritual leader of Temple Shalom of Middletown for the past 40 years, will be recognized by Bishop Thomas J. Tobin at the Diocese of Providence’s Third Annual Lumen Gentium Awards Dinner on May 20.

The rabbi will be honored as a Friend of the Diocese. Long a supporter of the local Catholic parishes, he has worked very closely with the Diocesan Office of Social Ministry on a number of events and projects. For the past 13 years, he has actively participated on the Diocesan Advisory Board for the Protection of Children and Young People. From the inception of this advisory board in 2002, Jagolinzer kindly and graciously has been a faithful member. His pastoral sensitivity coupled with his reflective, reasoned approach to challenging situations has resulted in a consistently wise and practical contribution to the work of the board.

The Lumen Gentium Award acknowledges with gratitude the Rabbi’s on-going friendship with and service to the Diocese.

All are cordially invited to attend this wonderful evening to celebrate with Jagolinzer and the Diocese of Providence.
