Congratulations to Our Graduates
Dear Students of Holy Apostles College and Seminary:
Congratulations to our Graduates!
I hope and pray that you, your families, and all those you know are well. We pray for all who are suffering from the coronavirus, especially those known to you.
As the spring semester has drawn to a close, we wish to congratulate you for persevering in your studies during these very challenging times. Your resilience in the face of difficulty is truly inspirational and reflects your desire to be formed into Missionary Disciples of Jesus Christ, formed into messengers of the Good News.
To celebrate and honor our graduates, we invite you to attend a virtual Mass to honor all our graduates. This live-streamed Mass will be on Saturday, May 30th, 2020, at 12 noon EDT. We are still working on a new commencement date as many other colleges and universities are doing.
Thank you for being a part of the family of Holy Apostles College and Seminary.
United in the Lord Jesus,
Fr. Peter S. Kucer, M.S.A. S.T.D.
