The Office of Mission and Ministry will host a month of events in September for Ignatian Heritage Month, its sixth celebration of Rockhurst University’s Jesuit roots honoring the founder of the Society of Jesus, St. Ignatius of Loyola.
Invite God’s Holy Spirit to bless our new academic year by attending this mass, which has been celebrated at Jesuit schools since the 1548! A free picnic lunch follows the mass for those who attend.
We will thank God for God’s many gifts, recognize God laboring alongside us, and recommit ourselves to the Ignatian-inspired core values that animate and guide our university. The Mass of the Holy Spirit is set for Tuesday, September 10th at 10:45 am. This tradition is the one time of the year when the President releases classes (10:30 am – 12:30 pm) to enable members of the campus community to participate.
10:45 am: Rockhurst University Bell Tower (St. Francis Xavier Church rain location)
Immediately Following Mass: Picnic in Kinerk Commons
