On Monday, May 19, 2025, the STA community came together to celebrate a special mass for the up and coming seniors from the Class of 2026. This mass was a special milestone for these students because it prepares them to enter their final year of high school. Not only was this mass a religious service, it was also a special moment to recognize the growth the rising Seniors have endured throughout their high school journey thus far. It was also a time to bless their journey and the future that they have ahead for themselves.
Father Celsus, who presented the mass, delivered a powerful and encouraging homily that motivated the students. Current junior Isabella Blasini commented that “[Father Celsus’s] homily was motivating and a powerful message that could help me make an impact in the world”. Father Celsus stated that we are called to live out our faith in action as a leader. The mass served as a powerful reminder that integrity and one’s achievements are at the core of a Catholic education, and are a turning point for our future.
