    Liturgy Resumes for the School

    • This weekend of January 23-24 marks the return of boarding students to the School, prior to in-person classes resuming on Monday. This return thus also marks the resumption of in-person liturgies for the School. These will follow the practice in place throughout this academic year, dividing the students into two groups to meet capacity requirements. Following a period of quarantine and negative results of COVID testing, the School community takes up again its perseverance in adherence to familiar protocols, returning to a Saturday evening and Sunday morning Mass with the students present. While we encounter the all-too-familiar sense of limitation with masks and distancing, we also sense gratitude at being able to again gather around the altar. Whether through the single student cantor for evening Mass or the monastic schola on Sunday morning, we “raise the chorus” again in Eucharistic praise. The monastery’s support of the School’s sacramental life and prayer extends to monthly “House Mass” in the church, periodic church assemblies, availability of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, as well as ongoing lectio, adoration, and other initiatives of the spiritual life group working with Prior Michael. Joining headmaster Dan McDonough’s expression of his gratitude for the cooperation that made the fall term so successful, we look forward in prayer and in hope as we move into the remainder of the academic year.
