All mothers or mother figures are invited to join their sons in a night of fun! There will be contests, prizes, games, and a photo booth to capture the memories, so come dressed to impress and ready to play.

Families are welcome to attend our school-wide Mass in the gym

We will be celebrating the Farewell Mass as a school community in the Barry Gym. This Mass is an opportunity for our campus community to gather together to give thanks for the blessings of the past school year and pray for each grade level as they look toward the year to come. We will especially pray for our senior class as we say goodbye and they look toward graduation and life beyond Jesuit High School.  A special ritual at this Mass is the Passing of Colors Ceremony. This involves each class receiving their next class color ribbon. The ribbon will be wrapped around the class candle that accompanies each class on retreats and at class Masses throughout their four year Jesuit journey. Senior class representatives will lead this ritual, which symbolically represents how they entrust each up and coming class to care for our community and hold tight to our traditions. Parents and family members of current students as well as alumni are invited to attend.
