We celebrate this Mass at the beginning of each academic year. Our prayer is for an invocation of the Holy Spirit to guide our students and faculty. This is also a time when both our faculty/staff and board of directors take a public oath of fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. It is by this oath that they promise to be faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church and live a life rooted in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mass will be celebrated by our chaplain, Fr. John Paul.
