The Class of 2021 gathered in the Suehle Auditorium one last time as a class to celebrate their Baccalaureate Mass with their parents. Fr. Donald Grzymski OFM Conv. ’70, president of Curley, was the principal celebrant and homilist. He spoke about our traditions as Curley men and staying close to Jesus as branches on a vine.
The readings from Scripture were proclaimed by Robert Winfield ’21, SGA President and Bryce Esposito ’21, President of the Class of 2021. The Prayers of the Faithful were lead by Denzel Evans ’21, SGA Vice-President and Jedrek Puskiewicz ’21, Vice President of the Class of 2021.
