Spirit Day Mass set for Sept. 12

OLLU will celebrate the new academic year with the annual Spirit Day Mass on Sept. 12 at 11 a.m. in Sacred Heart Chapel. During the celebration, OLLU’s National Championship softball team will be recognized.

During Spirit Day, OLLU joins more than 200 Catholic universities across the nation in celebrating the tradition of calling on the Holy Spirit to bless the academic year. In addition, faculty and staff who are celebrating 10+ years of service to the university will be recognized. They have contributed a collective 445 years of service to OLLU and its students.

Classes are dismissed from 10:45 a.m.-1:45 p.m. on Spirit Day to allow the community to attend this celebration.

Following the Mass, there will be a community lunch in the Saints Café. A homestyle lunch of lemon parmesan chicken, roasted zucchini, cavatappi pasta, breadstick and a fountain drink will be available for $7.99.
