After eight years of growth, friendship, and faith, the Class of 2026 closed its St. Mary’s chapter in style. Forty-two graduates gathered with their families for a day built around tradition and gratitude.
The morning began with a celebratory Mass before families moved to the commencement ceremony, where each graduate was recognized by name and sent off with a blessing for the road ahead.
Eight years of growth came down to a single morning — and a room full of families who never stopped believing.
A Day of Tradition
Graduation at St. Mary’s follows a rhythm that families have come to cherish over the years. This year’s celebration included:
A morning Mass led with the help of the graduating class
The presentation of diplomas and special awards
Remarks from a student speaker chosen by classmates
A courtyard reception with photos, refreshments, and farewells
Looking Ahead
After the diplomas and the tears, the reception spilled into the courtyard with hugs, laughter, and more than a few promises to come back and visit. For forty-two students, eight years at St. Mary’s came to a joyful close — and a new beginning.
