Graduating High School Seniors
  • Graduating High School Seniors

  • Greetings! It is a joy to share this invitation for families to participate in two very special upcoming events for graducating seniors— Senior Recognition and a Senior Send-Off.

    You may register for each event on the two registration pages that follow, and we invite you to participate in both if you are able.

    The first event, Senior Recognition on May 3, gathers graduating seniors in the 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. liturgies to receive a blessing and gift from the congregation. As a point of clarification, no seniors are singled out or asked to speak; they all come forward and experience a beautiful moment of recognition, blessing, and gratitude for them at this important threshold moment in their lives.

    The second event, Senior Send-Off, is a celebration held for graduating seniors and their families on May 3rd during the formation hour in the cafe. 

    We can't wait to celebrate you!

    Registration remains open until Wednesday, April 29. You are invited to participate in both or as your schedule permits.

    If you have any questions, please contact the Youth Minitry Coordinator, Caroline Harris. 

  • High School Senior Recognition

    Sunday, May 3, 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m., Holy Eucharist
  • High School Seniors will be specially recognized, presented with gifts, and formally blessed by the congregation at both morning liturgies on May 3th, so you may attend the service that best suits your family. This is a wonderful event for the life of the parish as well as we formally recognize this milestone on journey toward early adulthood.

    Receptions honoring the seniors will be held following both services. You may attend either service that best suits your family's schedule.
