Opening Mass of the Holy Spirit with the Installation of The Most Reverend Robert P. Reed as Rector

Saint John's Seminary warmly welcomes members of our community to the annual Opening Mass of the Holy Spirit, marking the beginning of the 2026–2027 academic year. This year's celebration will also include the installation of The Most Reverend Robert P. Reed as Rector of Saint John's Seminary.

The Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop Richard G. Henning, Archbishop of Boston, and will bring together seminarians, students, faculty, staff, alumni, benefactors, and friends of the Seminary as we entrust the coming academic year to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

A community barbecue will immediately follow the Mass.

We invite you to join us in prayer as we celebrate this important occasion in the life of Saint John's Seminary and ask the Holy Spirit to bless our mission and the year ahead.
