Since 1548, Jesuit schools have welcomed the year with a Mass of the Holy Spirit. Students, faculty and staff all joined this beloved Jesuit tradition to ignite the new academic year. Celebrating Fordham’s difference in backgrounds and cultures allows us to find the factor that unites us. Together we pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, guidance in the tough decisions to come, patience as we do the joyful work of teaching and learning, and the humility necessary to seek truth. — #FordhamUniversity #MassOfTheHolySpirit #JesuitTraditions #AMDG #JesuitEducated
