The opportunity to praise God in Word and Sacrament is essential to the life and spirit of the Kennedy Family. Starting with our Mass of the Holy Spirit (September 18, 2018, at 10:00am at Blessed Sacrament Church), marking the beginning of a new school year, the Kennedy Family gathers regularly for the celebration of Mass. At the lower campus, the students gather for Mass each Tuesday at 8:30am during the school year (beginning September 25, 2018), in addition to Masses on Holy Days of Obligation, and other special events throughout the school year. At the upper campus, Masses are celebrated on different feast days, holy days, and other special events throughout the year. All Masses will be planned by the different Houses represented at the upper campus. The first upper campus Mass will celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis and will be held on Thursday, October 4, 2018, at 10:00am. This year, the upper campus will also participate in House Masses during the seasons of Advent and Lent. Additionally, there is also the opportunity for Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament on Fridays in the Annunciation Chapel. Throughout the school year, there will also be a focus on other prayer opportunities apart from the celebration of Mass, such as the rosary and other devotions of the Church. New this year will be Masses to honor all students participating in sporting and extracurricular events. The Mass for Fall sports and events will be held at Saint William Church in Champion, on Sunday, September 23, 2018, at 11:00am. Masses for Winter and Spring sports and activities are currently being scheduled. May the spirit of God’s love continue to call us all to be a family of faith.
Our high school students have the opportunity to attend an overnight retreat by participating in Kairos. Kairos is a three day retreat for upperclassmen offered each spring, student leaders and adults are paired together with other students to deepen their faith. The Annual K-Day Leadership Retreat was established to educate students on the social mission of the Church and to foster the leadership of our Eagles at both the Upper and Lower Campuses.
