Wearing their caps and gowns, our All Saints graduates joined Father Kevin in the opening procession at the 11:30am Sunday Mass on June 12 at St. Conrad and then took their seats at the front of the sanctuary.
After Communion each graduate was asked to come to the altar to be recognized and then the group received a blessing.
A celebration luncheon for graduates and their family members was held afterward in St. Conrad Social Center.
A gift from All Saints Parish was presented to each graduate at the luncheon and scholarship winners were announced.
