Liturgies add spice to week Once a week the normal academic atmosphere stops and the students assemble for the celebra- tion of mass. The masses are planned by the students and they participate as fully as possible in the liturgy. The mid-week gathering praises God and offers our commun- ity and personal prayers from the Faith Community. The Liturgy should be for each of us a time of refreshment and a strengthening of our Christian commitments. Different priests have celebrat- ed mass with us, some of which include, Fr. Mike Kelly and Fr. Joe Holzhouser from Cathedral parish and Fr. Jim Kuntz from St. Lam- TX 1 28 bert's parish. Throughout the year, Fr. Cimpl has guest homily writers and speakers. The joyous singing has to be a highlight of the mass. The folk group, under the direction of Mary Ellen Doyle, contributes its many talents to the celebration of the Mass. The group not only sings, they play the flute, guitar and piano. Along with the folk, many solo's have been presented. Mary Ellen Doyle is a regular soloist, but this year Laurie Leiferman, Jeff Barnett, Katie Randall and Jeanne Randall tried their luck at it too and found that it really wasn't so bad. The madrigals, A and B chorus also sang during communion.
