Feast of St. Michael, "Michaelmas," celebrated on Campus
-
October 1, 2024On September 27, the campus community gathered to celebrate the Feast of St. Michael with a traditional Michaelmas procession and Mass. Led by Father Zoghby, accompanied by seven altar servers, students, faculty, and staff participated in the solemn event. The procession began in the staff parking lot, winding through the campus as attendees prayed the Chaplet of St. Michael, a devotion inspired by a vision to honor the nine Choirs of Angels.
It was a glorious morning for our first ever Michaelmas procession! We are especially thankful for Ryan Hamilton, who made the beautiful wooden "bier" that held the statue and enabled our strong volunteers to carry it safely. Without it, we could not have carried our Patron Saint so easily!
Following the procession, the celebration continued with a special Mass in the gym. This event also marked the launch of the Cardinal Fund's Michaelmas Pledge Drive, aiming to involve the entire community in supporting our school. The festival revived ancient traditions, blending worship, education, and community spirit, offering a meaningful way for participants to honor the Archangel Michael while renewing a sense of togetherness and purpose.
