Dear families,

While we are mourning the loss of our Graduation events that would have occurred last weekend at Benedictine College and this weekend at Thomas Aquinas College, we are excited to be sharing our first Graduation Livestream for the Class of 2020! Our events are this Saturday, May 30th, starting at 10 AM Pacific Time, with Holy Mass to follow at 11 AM. The livestream links are below!

Hi again everyone,

We are almost 2 weeks away from our May 30th Virtual Graduation Ceremony! We are hard at work getting the details put into place, and we are excited to be doing this for the first time with you all.

We wanted to give you a couple details that will help with your planning. We will continue to update this page with more info as we get closer to the date of the ceremony itself!

  • Firstly, the time of the Graduation Ceremony will be 10 AM Pacific Time on May 30th. There will be a live-streamed mass for our graduates to follow at 11 AM Pacific Time, as well!
  • In addition, while we would love to have everyone actively participate in the ceremony, we will only be able to have a very small group of participants in our live-stream. Because of this, the graduates will not be on camera, and will not need to dress as such. (Although if you want to dress up in your cap and gown and send us a picture of you watching, we'd love that!)

Once again, we will continue to update this page, but, if you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us!

God bless,

MODG Graduation Committee

Dear families,

We hope you are doing well! We can't believe it's already May, time is just flying by. We wanted to let you know a few details about our replacement plans for our celebration of our graduates!
We are in the midst of planning a Virtual Graduation Ceremony that will be streamed online! This event will take place on  May 30th. We are still working on deciding the precise time and location where it will be streamed, but we will make this available to you prior to the event, so you are able to share it with any relatives and friends who would wish to watch. While we won't be able to fully replicate all the pomp and circumstance, we will be doing many of the same events of our normal program, including a Commencement Address from Laura Berquist, student speeches, and (hopefully!) a Mass said specifically for our graduates! Stay tuned for more details.
Even though we won't be able to see the glory of the multitude of Caps, Gowns, and Tassels in person, we know that many of you still wish to have the regalia to commemorate your student's high school graduation! We have compiled a list of links from our normal supplier, including the proper colors. Please see  the attached document if you wish to place an order.
We are still mourning the prospect of celebrating with you all in person, but are looking forward to joining together with our community in this new way! We will be sending out more details soon, and know of our prayers for you all in this difficult time.
God bless,
MODG Graduation Committee
