St. Mary’s Catholic School proudly celebrated the graduation of its eighth-grade students with a special Graduation Mass held on May 25 at the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception Church.

This cherished annual tradition marked a meaningful milestone for the Class of 2029 as they completed their middle school journey and prepare to transition into high school at St. Mary’s, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade.

The following students were honored during the ceremony:
Kevin Albert, Macie Cameron, Aaron Campbell, Connor Cole, Sydney Culotta, Kollyns Duhon, Thomas Hardee, Tate Hebert, Andrew Johnson, Brenley Metoyer, Karson Milner, Amelia Picou, Adalyn Rhodes, Jolee Shea and Cade Solari.

The Graduation Mass, set in the historic and spiritual beauty of the Basilica, was a time of reflection, gratitude, and celebration of academic and personal growth. Faculty, family members, and parishioners joined together in prayer and support for the graduates as they continue their faith-filled education in high school.

St. Mary’s congratulates the Class of 2029 and looks forward to witnessing their continued accomplishments in the years ahead.
