La Salle hosted its annual Homecoming Mass on Tuesday, Oct. 7 — another part of the school’s week of festivities commemorating the spirit of Homecoming.

Father James M. Antonio, SJ, was invited to lead the Mass and focused his homily on the importance of women’s roles in the church and building community within the school. 

After the Mass, Dean of Students Ms. Kenzie D’Ambrosio unveiled a new element of this year’s Homecoming — a T-shirt following the dance’s theme of “Meet Me in Miami,” designed by senior Madeline Schnyder and modeled onstage by senior Kiernan Kelly.

About the Contributor
Kieran Crist-Kenworthy
Kieran Crist-Kenworthy, Assistant Editor
Senior Kieran Crist-Kenworthy was born in Portland, Oregon and has lived there his entire life. He deeply values its rainy environment, even if recent summers have brought absurd heat.  He was brought to La Salle by its strong sense of continuity with his middle school, Fransiscan Montessori Earth School, in both values and shared community.  Kieran possesses an interest and passion for writing and world affairs, born from an over-avid — and, given its quantity, categorically dangerous — consumption of history at a too-young age, which first carried him into the Speech and Debate team before a somewhat-overdue ferrying into the clutching embrace of Journalism.   He also has a love-hate relationship with running, and a neglectful but fully loving one with biking, both stemming from the 25,000 miles he rode to and from school in his K-8 years.  Outside of school Kieran loves hiking and backpacking, but, like most people who claim love for those activities, he does them somewhat less than might be implied by the density of their reference. Perhaps because of a full life, or their utility as entirely uncontroversial out of school interests.
