The Baccalaureate Mass is an opportunity for our graduates, families and friends, and the University community to give thanks for all of the gifts and blessings received from God. It is also our chance to pray for our graduates and to ask God's blessing upon you as you move into the next phase of your life. This year the celebrant and homilist for the Baccalaureate Mass will be our President, Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P.
