The campus community is invited to celebrate the Feast Day of St. Ignatius of Loyola with Mass in Christ the King Chapel, followed by lunch.

Canisius’ Jesuit community will celebrate Mass at 12:05 p.m. in the chapel. Afterwards, faculty and staff are invited to walk over to Bart Mitchell Quad for lunch from the Cheesy Chicks food truck, which will be available from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

The Jesuit community will use this time to say “thank you” to Rev. Tom Slon, SJ, as he completes eight years as superior of the Jesuit community and “welcome” to Rev. Jason Downer, SJ, who succeeds Father Slon in the role.

St. Ignatius Loyola was the founder of the Society of Jesus. He passed away on this day, July 31, in 1556.
