Just prior to 11 a.m., we were informed that a person present at last night's baccaluareate Mass had contact with a known COVID-positive individual.

We apologize for this inconvenience; however, it is always our obligation and duty to put the health and safety of our community first. As more information becomes available, we will re-evaluate our graduation ceremony process and communicate as appropriate. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this unfortunate cancellation. 

Update as of 4:15 p.m.
