Location
St. Ignatius Chapel


All are invited to the next monthly liturgy of the Office of Mission Integration (OMI) on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at noon in the St. Ignatius Chapel. This celebration will be an occasion to commemorate the Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador and their housekeeper and her daughter, who were killed on Nov. 16, 1989.

Joseph Daoust, S.J., will celebrate the liturgy and preach. Fr. Daoust was the provincial of the Detroit province Jesuits in 1989 and knew the Jesuits who were killed in El Salvador and attended their funeral. He has since served as delegate of Father General for the International Jesuit Houses in Rome and as superior of the Holy Rosary Mission and the De Smet Jesuit Community in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. He is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Detroit Mercy.

There will be a pizza lunch afterwards and time to visit with colleagues in the Commerce & Finance Building, Room 119.

At each monthly OMI liturgy and lunch, colleagues will have an opportunity to gather and reflect on a theme central to the University’s Jesuit and Mercy educational mission.

Persons of all religious backgrounds and/or those not affiliated with a religious tradition are encouraged to attend.
