Interfaith Baccalaureate Service
Saturday, May 11, at 2:00 PM, Beston Hall
The Class of 2019 will gather with their families and friends for this year’s Interfaith Baccalaureate Service.
This year’s class has chosen the theme “Hope" and has selected readings and prayers from a variety of faith traditions. The Nazareth Chamber Singers will also sing a beautiful Celtic Blessing that was composed specifically for Baccalaureate.
We hope you and your families can join us for this special celebration!
