The Class of 2019 and their families are invited to attend the Baccalaureate Mass on the eve of their graduation. The Baccalaureate Mass (Mass of Thanksgiving) is the first of two ceremonies that make up the graduation experience from St. Francis Catholic High School. The Class of 2019 will process into the transformed SFHS gym in their graduation gowns (no caps). Students may place an item at the base of the altar which represents their time at St. Francis (sports, drama, dance, service, retreats, club, etc). 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.
