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
