At Jesuit’s Annual Grandparents’ Day, Blue Jays Spend Quality Time with Their Loved Ones
Blue Jays and their grandparents filled the Chapel of the North American Martyrs on Saturday, Dec. 7 for the annual Grandparents’ Day Mass. The Mass gives Blue Jays the opportunity to reflect upon the special bond they share with their grandparents. Jesuit President Fr. Raymond Fitzgerald, S.J. ’76 referenced this special relationship in his Homily when he drew a parallel to the bond Jesus shared with his own grandparents.
Following the Mass, Blue Jays and their grandparents were invited to stay for the Blue Jay Band Christmas Concert and Social in the Auditorium.
