Catholic Central celebrated the Class of 2026 during a graduation weekend filled with faith, tradition, and time shared with family and friends.

The weekend began on Saturday, May 16, with the Senior Baccalaureate Mass held in the Catholic Central gymnasium at 6 pm. The evening allowed seniors and their families to come together in prayer one final time before graduation day.

One of the most meaningful moments of the Mass came during a special prayer led by Father Patrick Fulton, CSB. Parents were invited to place their hands on their sons’ shoulders and pray with them as they prepare for graduation and beyond. 

On Sunday, May 17, the Class of 2026 gathered at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor for Commencement.

Graduates received their diplomas and were also presented with rosaries blessed by Father Fulton. Student leaders spoke throughout the ceremony, reflecting on the brotherhood, faith, and experiences that shaped their time at Catholic Central.

Before the ceremony concluded, the Class of 2026 stood together to sing the “Mary Alma Mater” one final time as students at Catholic Central.

Following graduation, seniors gathered outside Hill Auditorium with family members, teachers, and friends to take photos and celebrate the occasion together.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! Once a Shamrock, always a Shamrock.
