On Wednesday, Aug. 28, Archbishop Nauman joined the student body for its first all-school mass. This year, however, the mass looked a little different. The students were wearing their white Oxford shirts, the newest addition to the school uniform.
“Mass is one of the most important things we do as Catholics, so one of the things you want to do is dress your best,” President Phil Baniewcz said. “This is a special thing, so we want to step it up a little, just like how sports teams dress up on game days.”
Director of Youth Ministry Music at Holy Trinity, Wade McNutt, came to lead the songs at mass and was accompanied by senior choir member Emma Masters. According to senior Stella Ismert, students seemed to participate more with the praise and worship music performed rather than the traditional music.
“As I traveled around the world, I’ve encountered the mass in so many different ways,” Baniwecz said. “One of the things I’ve learned is that in different cultures people respond to different music better than other styles of music.”
