Graduating seniors from all over the Archdiocese of New York gathered at America’s Parish Church, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, to join in prayer and celebrate their accomplishments. The Mass was celebrated by Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Espaillat, and he delivered an impassioned homily to these seniors on the cusp of adulthood. High schools in attendance included St. Peter’s, Sacred Heart, St. Joseph by the Sea, Kennedy Catholic Prep, Iona Prep, Monsignor Farrell, Regis, St. Vincent Ferrer, and St. Raymond High Schools.

A second Graduation Mass will be held for more schools in the archdiocese this Wednesday, May 14, if you are interested in celebrating these students. High schools in attendance will include Moore Catholic, Cardinal Hayes, Cardinal Spellman, St. Jean Baptiste, and Our Lady of Lourdes.
