Liturgy and Prayer

DePaul community gathers with the St. Vincent de Paul Parish community to celebrate Mass at St. Vincent de Paul Church. Students help prepare the liturgy and serve as liturgical ministers (lectors, Eucharistic ministers, altar servers, hospitality ministers and music ministers).

The DePaul Liturgical Choir is an ensemble of undergraduate and graduate students whose primary purpose is leading the music each week at Sunday Night Mass. Rehearsals are held on Thursday afternoons in the St. Louise de Marillac Chapel in the Student Center. No audition is required, just the ability to match pitch.

Instrumentalists are also encouraged to share their talents. Strings, woodwinds, brass, guitar and percussion are all used throughout the year, with rehearsals scheduled as needed.

When walking into the Student Center on DePaul's Lincoln Park campus, the last thing one would expect to see are pictures of people who have died. These pictures are surrounded by colorful skulls, flowers and fruit, showing that honoring loved ones is not always a sad affair. 

Dia de los Muertos, or "Day of the Dead," is celebrated from Oct 31st through Nov 2nd. This holiday is celebrated in Mexico and other parts of Latin America. DePaul has a week of events and students acknowledged this holiday in various ways. 

Dia de los Muertos is not the Mexican version of Halloween. The holiday is a mixture of Aztec and Roman Catholic traditions.
