Mass of the Holy Spirit_08292014_103AOn Tuesday, December 8, Blue Jays will attend one of the most special Masses of the school year, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Blue Jays are reminded to wear a coat and tie and to bring their Student Prayer Book with them to Mass.

When the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) established a new high school in New Orleans in 1847, they placed it under the protection of our Blessed Mother. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception celebrates Mary’s conception, without sin, and is always on December 8.
