On Wednesday, May 25, 2022, the Class of 2022 and their families gathered with the Faculty and Staff in the Basilica of the Assumption to celebrate their Baccalaureate Mass.
This is a special setting because, as is the custom, the graduates walk past the tomb of Archbishop Michael J. Curley in the crypt as they process into the Basilica.
Fr. Donald Grzymski OFM Conv. ’70, President of Curley, was the main celebrant and homilist. The Curley Choir led the music.
