'A Time To Share’ Instead of the traditional 8:00 daily Mass celebration in the past. Mass has been celebrated throughout the day at differ- ent set periods of time. This gives entire classes the opportunity to attend Mass at the teacher’s discretion. Also, students from study halls are given the option of attending Mass more than once a week. At the half-way point in the school year it was found that an average student had attended Mass four times, as compared to the previous year, where less than 3% had attended the optional daily Mass at all.
