The Mass of the Holy Spirit is a tradition held at Jesuit institutions that dates back to the Middle Ages. At the start of the school year, the community comes together in prayer and asks for blessings for the upcoming year.

On Sunday, Sept. 10 at the University Church Mass of the Holy Spirit, Joseph M. McShane, S.J. president of Fordham, acted as principal celebrant and homilist. Father McShane again celebrated Mass at the Lincoln Center campus on Thursday, Sept. 14, in the McNally Amphitheatre.

On Thursday, Sept. 21, José Luis Salazar, S.J., executive director of Campus Ministry, celebrated Mass in the Westchester Campus courtyard.
