Celebration of the Mass of the Holy Spirit

It is always a celebration when our dear friend, Benedictine Monk and Headmaster of St. Benedict's Prep, Father Edwin Leahy, is the Presider of our Liturgy. He was on fire with the Spirit as he shared God's unconditional love for each of us and the gift of new beginnings.



Our Gospel Choir joined their voices with Sister Germaine Fritz, President, in beautiful thanks and praise to our loving God for their families, Benedictine Academy, and the multitude of blessings in their lives. We are especially thankful to the Benedictine Sisters of St. Walburga Monastery for welcoming our entire school community in their sacred chapel for the celebration of Mass.

Mass concluded with Father Edwin calling forth a special blessing on the precious bibles that each freshmen and transfer student received as a welcoming gift. The Senior Class presented the bibles in memory of alumnae, Cathy Donnelly Ferruggia. We are grateful to her family for remembering our students each year and continuing this lovely tradition. May God Bless You as you have blessed us.
