The Mass, typically celebrated at the beginning of the academic year, is a tradition at Catholic colleges and universities that harkens back to the Middle Ages.
Music will be provided by the Liturgical Arts Group, directed by Campus Minister for Liturgical Arts Katherine Leavey.
Some students, faculty and staff will participate in the Mass as lectors and Eucharistic ministers. Following the celebration all in attendance are invited to a picnic-style barbecue dinner on Bapst Lawn.
