John Spiegel says Mass in the chapel For the Homecoming Mass Clare Kadavy and Bob Bush bring up the gifts Praise Him morn and noon Religion was more than a class at Assumption. It was rather, the entire atmosphere of joy that pervaded the school. We cele- brated our synergy liturgically by praying with each other and for each other. Students could be found at daily Mass in the chapel at 7:40 a.m. joined by Assumption neighbors and at mod 9. All-school Masses had the participation of students and were held on Holy Days and for spe- cial events. Students lectored, brought gifts to the altar, sang in the choir and played in the band. Fr. Joe Nassal from the Social Action depart- ment of the Davenport Diocese helped us celebrate Thanksgiving Mass. Students collected canned food and money for the poor. At Christmas time homerooms spon- sored a child and collected money to buy gifts for them. During Advent and Lent communal penance ser- vices took place in the gym and priests from all over the city came. On April 17 a school retreat was held with speaker Fr, Andrew Miners. Stu- dents met with him in January to dis- cuss plans for the retreat. Katie Kearns reads a passage in the Bible for the communal penance service. 18 retgious fefe
