“Each of us is a witness,” Assistant to the President Fr. Richard Zanoni, S.J., said in his homily as he celebrated our Ascension Thursday liturgy today for our entire community in Scaccia Auditorium.
 
“Witnessing we do ... and we do it so much better than judging, since we tend to misjudge and rash judge all too frequently. So, let’s stick to being humble and joyful witnesses, witnesses of God’s goodness to us, and let us be willing to share that goodness, whenever and wherever we may find ourselves at any given moment.”
 
Ascension Thursday commemorates the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven, 40 days after His resurrection on Easter Sunday.
 
Students participating in the Mass included: Sydney Pratt ’28 (First Reading, from the Acts of the Apostles), Charles Welsch ’28 (Responsorial Psalm), and Rocco Cellino ’28 (Second Reading, from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians), as well as Matthew Yost ’28 and Derek Birkemeier ’28 (both read the Prayers of the Faithful). The crossbearer was Markel Hunt ’28 while the candlebearers were Kingston Salter ’28 and William Franjoine ’28. Students also were Eucharistic Ministers. Performing were the chorus, handbells ensemble and guitar ensemble.
 
The concelebrants were President Fr. David Ciancimino, S.J., Director of Campus Ministry Fr. Chuck Frederico, S.J. and Assistant to the Principal Fr. Edward Durkin, S.J.
