COVID-19 has affected the entire community. What better response than to pray together? “Come, Holy Spirit, and Renew the Face of the Earth” is a 30 minute online Pentecost prayer vigil which will be held on Saturday, May 30 at 8:00 p.m. It will bring together the Ignatian family and our Jesuit and Ignatian networks throughout the world in more than 100 countries. Please join these brothers and sisters of yours, in spirit and in prayer, at this unique moment in human history.
The details:
The 30-minute prayer vigil will take place at three separate times to accommodate the global Ignatian family across different time zones. Join us at either 8:00 p.m. (Asia Pacific, Manila time), 8:00 p.m. (EMEA, Rome/Madrid time), or 8:00 p.m. (the Americas, New York/Santiago Time).
Come to the vigil with an open heart, your prayer intentions and a candle that you will light.
Between now and May 30, pray daily for God’s Holy Spirit to come powerfully among us. Invite your friends and networks to join the vigil. Share your own prayers in advance on social media with #IgnatianPentecost and #TogetherAMDG

One of the graces for the Jesuits at Loyola Hall during these difficult days has been the opportunity for all of us to gather together for Mass in our community chapel each day. The students, faculty, staff, alumni and benefactors of the three schools we serve – NativityMiguel Middle School, Canisius High School and Canisius College – are always remembered in our prayers.
During these challenging times, we invite you to let us know of any particular intentions you or any of your family and friends would like us to remember at Mass.
Intentions can be sent to us atprayers@canisius.edu and we will remember them both at Mass and in our personal prayers.
May God bless you with peace and consolation today and every day.
