Mass of the Holy Spirit 2026

All are invited to join in celebrating the opening of the academic year on the Vancouver campus at UBC.

The Mass of the Holy Spirit follows the rich Jesuit tradition of opening the academic year with a liturgy that gathers the community to thank God for the gifts of creation and salvation, and to invoke the wisdom and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the coming year. 

Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop Richard, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver
