Please join us on Saturday May 31^st, 2025 at 1130am, to celebrate the milestone achievement by your 8^th grade graduating class from our Springfield area Catholic Schools. This event is an opportunity for us to recognize all 8^th graders for establishing roots in Catholic Education and to wish them continued success.

At the event, graduates will receive a free wristband for unlimited carnival rides from Noon-4pm. Family and friends are encouraged to attend along with the 8^th grade class. The event will open with a prayer, a brief talk to the graduates and a collective class picture. Mass is held at 430pm for all wishing to attend.

We ask that the students wear their school colors (past, present or future) and arrive by 1130am. Additional details are listed below and in the informational flyers provided. We hope to see everyone there and to make this an annual tradition in celebrating our valued Catholic Education.
