Baccalaureate Mass at Cristo Rey

As the end of the school year approaches, we have been filled with pride, as we have the opportunity to witness our seniors reach the end of their high school careers. On Thursday, June 2nd, we held our annual Baccalaureate Mass to celebrate the graduating Class of 2022. Here we prayed for their guidance as they enter a new chapter in life, and reminded them of their hard work and tenacity which has allowed them to reach the penultimate celebration of this graduation season. Fr. Steven Gonzalez, Class of 2010, led our service through words of courage, reflection, and encouragement, reminding our current students of the time he spent in those very seats. He read a passage from the gospel Matthew 5:14-16, which states, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Our seniors are shining stars, who upon their entry to their new communities, will be trailblazers at anything they put their minds to. Each of them are on their way to a variety of colleges, including Dartmouth, Boston College, Villanova, Holy Cross, and more. These students have dreams of becoming professionals in scientific, artistic, and technological fields, and through their hard work, have been provided the key to the doors of their fortuitous futures. Congratulations to the teachers, families, and students of the Class of 2022!
