IGNATIAN YEAR: MASS COMMEMORATING THE CANONIZATION OF ST. IGNATIUS AND ST. FRANCIS XAVIER
As part of the yearlong celebration of the Ignatian Year that marks the 500th Anniversary of St. Ignatius’ conversion, we held a special all-school Mass on Friday, March 11 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the canonizations of St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis Xavier. We were pleased to welcome Fr. Bill Oulvey, SJ and Great Raider Fr. Dan Daly, SJ '77 as concelebrants for this Mass.
In the 1600s, Xavier’s fame spread because, in traveling to Asia, he had gone to the ends of the Earth, at least in the minds of Europeans at the time. It was not so for Ignatius whose renown dwindled after his death. However, through the work of the second and third generation of Jesuits and riding the coattails of Xavier, St. Ignatius was canonized in St. Peter’s Square on March 12, 1622 along with Francis Xavier, Philip Neri and Teresa of Avila.
