The Mass of the Holy Spirit is the official opening of the University's academic year. Students, faculty, administration, and staff of all faiths and intellectual positions are encouraged to attend and gather to celebrate our common vocation to educate. Faculty gather in academic robes (if you have them available) in the Braniff foyer at 4:45 p.m. and process to the Church of the Incarnation. The Mass begins at 5:00 p.m. Faculty traditionally process in together and sit together. Following the Mass, all faculty and their families are invited to join the student body for the Opening School Picnic in the Haggar Foyer.
