God showered His blessings upon us, the students and staff of the University of St. Joseph (USJ) in Macau, in the opening Mass for the new school year 2024-25. On Wednesday, September 4th, the University held a Mass to supplicate the Holy Spirit to pour His blessings upon us. The Mass was presided over by the Chaplain of the University, on behalf of the Bishop, and con-celebrated by some professors of the Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy. The Rector served as deacon in the Mass and delivered an inspiring homily, exhorting us to be closer to God and to study assiduously, in order to bring God’s Good News to the world. His homily was a reminder that we are part of a Catholic University, whose identity is to cultivate good citizens and form evangelizers. After the Mass, all the participants were invited to share in a fraternal meal.
The Mass was in honor of the Holy Spirit.
The Student Brothers coordinated the singing at the Mass.
