Gonzaga marks key moments in the life of the community with appropriate liturgical
celebration.
Solemn celebrations of the mass, with the full community, in the College Chapel,
and enriched by the college choirs, mark the opening of the academic year, the beginning
of each term, major feast days, and the culmination of our educational endeavours
at Graduation.
Daily mass is celebrated more simply each morning in the College Prayer-Room, attended
by an ever-changing and eclectic group of students, staff, parents, past-pupils,
and others. During Lent, to cater for larger numbers, this mass, offered by members
of the resident Jesuit Community, takes place in the College Chapel.
The sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated during Lent; Benediction takes place
at the annual Sports Day; in November each year the dead of the college are remembered
at a solemn requiem mass attended by families and friends.
