Christ is risen, Alleluia! Happy Easter to all!

Congratulations to this year’s RCIA members, who have walked through the journey of faith together in the past academic year. They were baptized, received, and/or confirmed by our chaplain, Fr. Anthony, during our Easter Vigil celebration.

We wish everyone a blessed Easter season. As this academic year draws to a close, we also pray for the students as they prepare for their exams, and for the graduating students as they discern their next steps in life.
