Liturgy & Prayer at Brophy

Liturgy and prayer are at the center of Brophy’s Catholic, Jesuit identity. We gather to celebrate the Eucharist in a variety of settings throughout the school year, including lunchtime Masses, all-school Masses, class Masses and family masses. Students take an active role in liturgies as eucharistic ministers, servers, lectors and musicians.

Brophy Chapel is a beautiful, quiet space where students can stop in for personal prayer and reflection during the school day. Mass is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays for students, faculty and staff during lunch. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is available on Wednesdays during lunch. Mass for the extended community is offered at 10 a.m. every Sunday during the school year.

Morning Prayer & The Daily Examen

Every day begins with prayer. Student leaders remind the community that we are in God’s loving presence as we open our hearts to Him to start our day. We offer special prayer intentions for those families who may be experiencing loss, illness or who are facing a particular challenge that day.

In addition to morning prayer, we pray the daily Examen each full school day. This simple exercise, inspired by St. Ignatius Loyola, is a daily method of self-examination intended to help us better serve the Lord by seeking God’s invitation and guidance in our daily lives. Once again, student leaders guide the quiet reflection asking the following questions:

How is God at work in my life?
How have I responded to God’s presence in my life?
How am I being called to respond now?

Members of the faculty, staff, and administration also gather for prayer every Wednesday morning inside Brophy Chapel at 7:45 a.m – asking for God’s grace and blessing in their vocation as educators, that all they do might be for the greater glory of God.
