Graduates, guests, and faculty are invited to attend Commencement Mass. This will not be a ticketed event, but please note that seating is limited and will be on a first come, first served basis.
The Commencement Mass is an opportunity for our graduates, families and friends, and the university community to give thanks for all the gifts and blessings received from God.
Our graduates can seek God's blessing upon them as they move into the next phase of their lives. Edward Siebert, S.J., the rector of the Jesuit Community, will be the celebrant for the Commencement Mass.
