Building ez Comm unify Is what The Masses Work Toward. reaTive, ihTeresTihg, commuhiTy, love. These words de- scribe an imporTahT parT of Loyola Academy. They de- scribe an LA Mass. Ranging from The all-school holiday Masses To The very informal sTudenT-faculTy Masses, sTu- denTs and faculTy members have The opporTuhiTy To grow as a commuhiTy. Keepihg wiTh TradiTioh, Loyola holds four school- wide llTurgies, which mark The beginhihg of The school year, The ChrisTmas seasoh, Ash Wednesday, ahd The end of The year. These school-wide llTurgies enable The Loyola family To cele- braTe iTs falTh in The Lord as a whole body worshiping To- geTher. Oh SepTember 2OTh, Loy- ola gaThered TogeTher To celebraTe The ahhual Mass of The Holy SpiriT. Preslded over by Fr. Leo Klein, S.J., The Mass cehTered around The Theme 'lLoyola: One in The SpiriT. Realizing ThaT This was The year of The school's 75Th anniversary, Fr. ReuTer's Homily called To mind The myriad of Loyola alumni scaTTered ThroughouT The world. The Gospel sTaTe- mehT ThaT we are all fishers of meh and ThaT The King- dom of God is like a heT was visually defined as Op- Sac performers wehT fish- ihg and came up wiTh peo- ple from all walks of Loyola life.

Three morTThs laTer, Loyola reflecTed oh The meaning of AdvehT. Mr. and Mrs. Clark dis- cussed The meanihg of Ad- vehf in Terms of Their owh ex- ciTihg, yeT anxious waiTihg for The birTh of Their firsT child. They showed how Mary and Joseph musT have felT ahd how a ChrisTiah waiTs for The Lord To ehTer his life during The ChrisTmas season. Many heralded This Mass as being marked by greaT ehThusiasm and parTicipaTioh OD behalf of The sTudehT body. Ahofher form of worship is The special STudehT-Facul- Ty Mass celebraTed every oTher Thursday aT 2:45. Here sTudehTs and faculTy gaTher TogeTher To celebraTe The Lord's presehce. These Masses are conducive To building a commuhiTy. Ohe remarkable Mass This fall was TiTled From Darkhess To LighT. Mr. Ggllucci read a poem which Talked abouT fi- hally seeing The LighT afTer many years of darkness. Mrs. Kelly accompanied him by performing a liTurgical dance. STudehTs were very impressed by Their perfor- mance. Ahofher special sTu- dehT-faculfy liTurgy was plahhed by Mr. Mark BaTeh- burg and lasT year's Peru group. The whole Mass was in Spahish, feaTuring Spanish songs. Senior Dah Baldiho characTerized The sTudehT- faculTy Masses as A unique opporfunify for The sfudenfs and The facuify To share in Mass, nof as Teachers and sfudenfs, buf rafher as friends in Chrisf. Be iT a school-wide Mass or a sTudehT-faculTy LiTurgy, Loyola sTudehTs have The opporTuhiTy To help build and be a parT of The unique Loyola commuhiTy. Loyola believes ThaT These celebra- Tions are very ihsTramehTal in increasing ohe's falTh and also building The Kingdom of God. Doug Schacke
