Mass of the Holy Spirit

As a Catholic, Jesuit University, one of Canisius’ annual traditions is to celebrate the Mass of the Holy Spirit at the beginning of each academic year. This year our mass will be held on Wednesday, September 18 at 10:00 a.m. in Christ the King Chapel. All campus community members are welcome to join us, regardless of their faith tradition.

This wonderful tradition allows us to celebrate our solidarity as a campus community and ask the spirit of God to bless our studies, work, and activities throughout the academic year. Our academic calendar includes a special break in the class schedule on this day so that all members of our campus community have the opportunity to attend and participate in the Mass. As a reminder, any classes that normally meet on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday pattern do not meet on this day. Classes that normally meet on Wednesday only or on a Monday and Wednesday pattern will still meet on this day.

Faculty and staff members: we kindly ask that you confirm your attendance for this event. Click here to RSVP. All faculty members are invited to participate in the formal procession by wearing their academic regalia. Please indicate on the Google Form if you intend to be part of the formal procession.

After the Mass, brunch will be served in the Richard E. Winter ’42 Student Center Economou Dining Hall.

We hope to see you at the Mass of the Holy Spirit.
