ABOVE: The Bishop Grimes graduating class attended their Baccalaureate Mass at St. Matthew’s Church in East Syracuse. Pictured are Father Stephen Wirkes, pastor of St. Matthew’s, Bishop Douglas J. Lucia and Father John Kurgan, Vicar General of the diocese and pastor of Holy Cross Church, Dewitt.
Here are 272 great reasons to be excited for the future in the Diocese of Syracuse.
That’s how many high school seniors will participate in commencement ceremonies this month from the four Catholic diocesan high schools and one participating ordered high school in the seven-county diocese.
The upcoming print edition of The Catholic Sun will include the names of all of this year’s graduates. We are happy to share photos of the valedictorians and salutatorians here and we extend our heartfelt congratulations and prayers to all graduating students throughout the area.
