Abstract
Liturgies at St John’s try to capture the passion of St Ignatius, who
placed at the foundation of the spiritual life to give praise, reverence
and thanks to God. Intensive preparation and prayer go into the
major celebrations, especially the Triduum feasts and the Mass of
the Holy Spirit (pictured above) to bring together all members of
the Creighton and St John’s community in a spirit of gratitude,
welcome, and mission.
The Mass at St John’s is where the People
of God receive the wisdom,
sustenance, and fellowship to
then go forth and make the
world– in G M Hopkins’,
phrase— “charged with God’s
grandeur.” The celebration
of Eucharist at St. John’s takes
seriously Vatican II’s mandate
to have “full and active
participation of the laity.”
