Dear Jesuit families, friends, and benefactors, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DATE CHOSEN

The dedication of Jesuit High School’s new student chapel, the Chapel of the FOR THE DEDICATION OF
Holy Cross, marks an important milestone in school history. It is the fourth
Chapel or Church to serve the Jesuit students in Tampa, preceded by St. HOLY CROSS CHAPEL
Louis Church (1899-1905), Sacred Heart Church (1905-1962), and St.
Anthony’s Chapel (1962-2016). AUGUST 7, 2018

The new chapel, named in honor of the Holy Cross, draws from the spirit IN THE SOCIETY OF JESUS
that animated the origin of the Society of Jesus. In the Formula of the
Institute, the founding document of the Jesuit Order (1540), St. Ignatius
refers to those wishing to be members of this new Order as soldiers of God Today, Jesuits worldwide commemorate the 204th anniversary of the
“under the banner of the cross” (sub crucis vexillo), serving the Lord alone and restoration of the Society of Jesus. On Aug. 7, 1814, Pope Pius VII issued
the Church, his spouse, under the Roman Pontiff. Thus, St. Ignatius puts the bull Sollicitudo omnium Ecclesiarum, which re-established the Society of Jesus
the whole Jesuit mission under the standard of the cross. These words from in the universal Church after it had been suppressed by an earlier papal brief
the Formula can be seen inscribed on the statue of St. Ignatius that adorns for the previous 41 years.
the façade of Holy Cross Chapel. In addition, the central interior image that
confronts the visitor to our new chapel, the painting placed above the high
altar, is the famous image of St. Ignatius’s vision at La Storta. In this vision, FROM THE PAPAL DECREE OF RESTORATION
St. Ignatius is placed by God the Father beneath Christ who carries the cross.
From that moment, St. Ignatius knows that he and his companions will be
linked intimately in name and mission with the Lord Jesus and His holy cross. “The Catholic world demands with unanimous voice the re-establishment of the Society of
Jesus. We daily receive to this effect the most pressing petitions from our venerable brethren,

EXPLANATION OF THE RITE OF DEDICATION

The rites of the anointing, incensation, covering, and lighting of the altar
express in visible signs several aspects of that invisible work which the Lord
accomplishes through the Church in its celebration of the divine mysteries,
especially the Eucharist.
In virtue of the anointing with chrism the altar becomes a symbol of Christ
who, before all others, is and is called “The Anointed One”; for the Father
anointed him with the Holy Spirit and constituted him the High Priest who
RECESSIONAL VOLUNTARY Musicians of Jesuit High School on the altar of his body would offer the sacrifice of his life for the salvation
of all. The anointing of the Church signifies that it is given over entirely and
perpetually to Christian worship. Twelve anointings are made in accordance
with liturgical tradition, signifying that the Church is an image of the holy city
of Jerusalem.
Incense is burned on the altar to signify that the sacrifice of Christ, which is
there perpetuated in mystery, ascends to God as an odor of sweetness, and
also as a sign that the prayers of the people rise up pleasing and acceptable,
reaching to the throne of God. The incensation of the nave of the Church
indicates that the dedication makes it a house of prayer, while the People of
God are incensed as a reminder that they are a spiritual altar.
The covering of the altar indicates that the Christian altar is the altar of the
Eucharistic Sacrifice and the table of the Lord; standing around it priests and
people, in one and the same action but with a difference of function, celebrate
the memorial of the death and resurrection of Christ and partake in the
Lord’s Supper. For this reason the altar is prepared as the table of the
sacrificial banquet and adorned as for a feast. Thus the decoration of the altar
clearly signifies that it is the Lord’s table at which all God’s people meet with
joy to be refreshed with divine food, namely the body and blood of Christ
sacrificed.
