The mass is an opportunity for the University community to give thanks to God for gifts and opportunities bestowed upon the graduates, the growth and success they have achieved, and to pray for their continued protection as they are sent out for the greater glory of God and the service of humanity.
Fr. David Suwalsky, Ph.D., S.J., Vice President for Mission and Identity, presided over the Mass. Fr. Matthew Baugh, S.J., Director of the Catholic Studies Center, delivered the homily.
