Location Doesn't Change Meaning his year was different from past years when it Masses were held in St. Agnes Cathedral. This year due to the renovation of St. Agnes Cathedral, school Masses were held in the St. Agnes cafeteria and the school gym. At first, the students thought Mass wouldn't be the same without the cathedral. It wouldn't be like church. However, it seems that the students had come to value and appreciate the Mass even more. The students learned that it wasn't the building that made Mass special, it was the Mass itself, especially receiving the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion. Also, the realization that the love of Christ is what brought the students together. As sophomore Phoung Nguyen comment- ed, Hit doesn't matter where the Mass is held. The people getting together and celebrating is the important thing to love and share with one another. 22 came to attending school Masses. In the past, k 1i When Father Tom gives a homily, he brings his friends along to help him. 2i On Ash Wednesday Steve Grant interviews John Grisemer about Lent. 3i Even with the reconstruction of the cathedral, students and faculty still take part in Mass. 4i Having Mass in the cafeteria makes it hard for the senior boys to remember they are in front of the Blessed Sacrament. PAGE 2:5 1i Seriousness shows on Father Tom's face during the consecration. 2i The Eucharistic prayer is an important part of Mass as everyone draws their attention to the words Father Tom expresses. 3i Those attending the kick-off for Renew at Holy Trinity are greeted by balloons distributed by SCHS clowns like Kevin Otradovec. 4i Celebrating Ash Wednesday is a special thing as Jason Coatney has ashes placed on his forehead. 5i Sr. Shaw and Father Tom work on Religious activities for the students. 6i To receive communion is to recieve the Body of Christ. Mrs. Dulle receives communion from Sr. Slaney. 7i Lent is a time for new beginnings. Jim Gray conveys the words in readings that help us grow closer to God. 1
