Liturgies
Liturgies
Family, friends and alumni are welcome to attend all-school Masses and prayer services
Masses and prayer services offer the chance for our community to come together in prayer and celebration of the Eucharist. In gathering together, we reaffirm our commitment to knowing, loving, and serving God and one another.
Strengthening community
Liturgies offer time and space for community to be encountered and strengthened. Periodically throughout the academic year, our students and staff gather together to pray, hear and reflect on Sacred Scripture, break bread, and celebrate the Eucharist. Mass and prayer services offer physical signs of Christ’s presence within and among us, and they remind us of the type of loving community that we are called to build and participate in.
Frequency
- Students at Jesuit attend several all-school Masses during the school day in the Barry Gym in the Fall and Spring.
- Additionally, they will attend one Mass each semester with only their grade-level classmates in the Chapel of the North American Martyrs.
- Students in the Liturgy Workshop class, a senior theology elective, coordinate with on-campus clergy and the Campus Ministry office in planning and leading liturgies on campus.

About the Thanksgiving Interfaith Prayer Service
On Friday, November 21, the day before we leave for Thanksgiving Break, we will gather as a community to pause and give thanks for God’s many blessings; including the blessing of our wonderfully diverse world of language, culture, and ways we honor God in our various faith traditions. In the spirit of the Jesuit tradition of “finding God in all things,” we will celebrate the richness of that diversity, understanding it as a blessing rather than a barrier; as Pope Francis himself has charged us “to create a culture of encounter, which encourages individuals and groups to share the richness of their traditions and experiences, to break down walls and to build bridges.” Parents, families, and alumni are welcome to gather and give thanks through prayer with the student body beginning at 10:45 am in the Barry Gym. Please note: while this is not a Mass, students should be in formal dress attire.

This feast day celebrates the miraculous appearance of Mary to St. Juan Diego in 1531 just outside Mexico City. Tradition holds that Mary spoke to Juan, a member of the Chichimeca people in modern day Mexico, in his native language and asked him to implore the local bishop to build a chapel in the place where she appeared. To help Juan convince the local bishop, Our Lady of Guadalupe instructed Juan to gather roses from the hill where the chapel was to be built. This was miraculous because roses were not in season at the time. She also miraculously imprinted Juan’s cloak with her now famous image. Our Lady of Guadalupe’s message of comfort and the significance of her message of God’s solidarity with those who were marginalized in Latin America has immense cultural and religious significance for Catholics in the Americas. For this reason, Our Lady of Guadalupe has been designated by the Church as the Patroness of the Americas. Jesuit High School will be celebrating her feast day in December with an all-school Mass in the Barry Gym beginning at 10:45 am.

We will be celebrating the Farewell Mass as a school community in the Barry Gym. This Mass is an opportunity for our campus community to gather together to give thanks for the blessings of the past school year and pray for each grade level as they look toward the year to come. We will especially pray for our senior class as we say goodbye and they look toward graduation and life beyond Jesuit High School. A special ritual at this Mass is the Passing of Colors Ceremony. This involves each class receiving their next class color ribbon. The ribbon will be wrapped around the class candle that accompanies each class on retreats and at class Masses throughout their four year Jesuit journey. Senior class representatives will lead this ritual, which symbolically represents how they entrust each up and coming class to care for our community and hold tight to our traditions. Parents and family members of current students as well as alumni are invited to attend.
