Congratulations, Class of 2025!

We had a beautiful graduation weekend for the Class of 2025 in sunny California on June 14th! Families from all over gathered to celebrate the hard work of our graduates & lifted them in prayer for their new chapters ahead! 

Our staff members loved the opportunity to see some of you at the MODG Office open house & catch up with the graduates and their parents at the Friday evening pizza party. Father Tom started off graduation day with a beautiful Mass. Our dear founder, Laura Berquist addressed the graduates with an encouraging speech. Listen to her words here! Overall, it was a weekend our grads and everyone who joined will surely hold dear.

“If the Catholic person is going to take part in a restoration of the common good, he will have to be equipped as a leader, with a leader’s abilities to rightly judge circumstances, possible courses of action and to think outside the box. You can do that.”- Laura Berquist

Shane Murphy, MODG'25, addressed his fellow classmates as Class Speaker. You can listen to his speech here! 

"We students at Mother of Divine Grace are unique. We are not the average teenagers drifting aimlessly through this world. In a way, we are countercultural, but in the very best sense of the word. Our education has given us things that are scarce in today' landscape. Character, integrity, rationality, nuance, empathy, a thirst for the truth- these are all traits that are being lost in our increasingly confused world. This world needs what we have received: minds trained to seek truth, hearts formed in virtue, and souls prepared to serve."- Shane Murphy

If you missed it, you can watch the Grad Mass and Ceremony on our YouTube channel!

Thank you to everyone who made this weekend possible!
