Mass of the Holy Spirit opens the new academic year

A week after our first day of school the year "officially" opened with the traditional Mass of the Holy Spirit. Our pastor, Father Raphael, spoke eloquently of the importance of listening to the Spirit as well as praying for the many gifts that are relevant to a school, particularly "wisdom" and "understanding."
 
The teachers and administrators were blessed at the conclusion of the liturgy and sent off to "do good work" during the year ahead.
