As a Catholic, Jesuit university, a vital part of graduation weekend is the celebration of the Baccalaureate Mass. This year’s Mass for the Class of 2021 took place on Saturday, May 22, 2021, at 4 pm outside on the Ray and Kay Eckstein Common.
“This year’s Baccalaureate Mass took place outside. This was just one of the many ways the Mass was quite different due to COVID-19 health and safety precautions,” said Mary Sue Callan-Farley, director of campus ministry. “Thank God for the great weather and the vast and dedicated planning team that brought us a meaningful event for graduates and their families during a unique year."
