Mass of the Holy Spirit

In keeping with a long tradition dating from the founding of the great European universities in the Middle Ages, USD celebrates the Mass of the Holy Spirit at the start of each academic year. During the liturgy we ask for the inspiration, guidance and presence of God's Spirit on all of our campus activities. This festive event gathers the entire University community together to rededicate ourselves to USD's mission, to renew friendships, and to welcome new members.
