Baccalaureate Mass August 1, 2020

Like so many other milestone events for Firebirds in 2020, both the Baccalaureate Mass and Commencement Exercises for the graduating seniors had to be postponed and reimagined due to the pandemic. On August 1, 2020, members of the Class of 2020 came together in Kellenberg Memorial’s auditorium for a final time to celebrate their Baccalaureate Mass, which was concelebrated by Father Thomas Cardone, S.M. and Father Daniel Griffin, S.M. ’02. Although families could not be in attendance due to limitations on large gatherings, the Mass was live-streamed for all to enjoy. 1. Katie Hand ’20, 2. Julian Belardo ’20, 3. Michael Castelli ’20, 4. Kathryn Stewart ’20, 5. Kori Key ’20, 6. and Bila Bonifacio ’20 receive their candles to light the world. 7. Father Thomas Cardone, S.M. and Father Daniel Griffin, S.M. ’02 concelebrated the Mass. 8. Brian Biscotti ’20 was one of the lectors during the ceremony. 9. Sean Tortarella ’20 participates in the candle ceremony.

Congratulations and Godspeed to the members of the Class of 2020 who have dedicated themselves to serving our country! 10. With West Point cadets needing to report in July prior to Kellenberg’s Commencement Exercises, Camryn Beckford ’20 was treated to a special graduation ceremony and prayer service on June 27, 2020.
