How blest we are to celebrate with you, giving praise and thanks to God for the gift of you—the incredible Class of 2026—at your Baccalaureate Mass. This Eucharistic Celebration is a sacred tradition that marks the beginning of your Graduation Weekend. We will gather together in prayer and thanksgiving in Mary’s Grotto on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
As we celebrate you, we ask God’s continued blessings and grace upon each of you as you step forward into the next chapter of your lives. This is also a beautiful moment to pause and give thanks for the gift of your parents and grandparents, whose unconditional love and sacrifices have guided and supported you to this day.
