Congratulations Area Graduates

To all our graduates — whether from high school, college, graduate programs or certificate studies — we extend our heartfelt congratulations! This milestone represents not only academic achievement but a significant step in your journey of discipleship. 

We celebrate with you and the parents, godparents, teachers, and mentors who have shaped your minds and hearts. Your accomplishments reflect the building up of Christ's Body through the development of your God-given talents.

Let us pray: Loving God, source of all wisdom and knowledge, we thank you for the gift of these graduates, whose hard work and perseverance we celebrate today. 

Bless them as they step forward into new beginnings. Fill them with the courage to live as disciples who transform our world. Guide them to use their knowledge in service to others. And keep their hearts centered in your love. 

May they, like Paul and Barnabas, strengthen others along life's journey. May they, in fulfillment of Christ's new commandment, love authentically and build up rather than tear down. 

May they be recognized as your disciples through this love. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Who makes all things new. Amen.
