The Class of 2019 and their families are invited to attend the Baccalaureate Mass on the eve of their graduation.

The Seniors will sign up in advance as to which item they wish to present at the altar.
The Mass is open to people of all faiths and you are encouraged to come early – the doors open at 4:15 pm with Senior prelude performances starting at 4:30 pm.
