“At this time of year, we take the time as Catholic communities to celebrate all graduates, who have fulfilled the Ontario Catholic school graduate expectations and are ready to take on a new journey outside the familiar walls of their schools,” Mazzorato added. “We are extremely proud of each and every one of them and wish them success and God’s richest blessing as they move on to the next chapter in their lives.”
