Liturgies

Overview

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.
