2006 Graduate event

At St. Peter's Hall

Sponsored by Knights Of Columbus

 ************************************

On  July 14, 2006...The graduation of College and High School students was celebrated in a lovely mass at St. Peter’s Chaldean Cathedral   in San Diego and followed by a social gathering in the Church Hall. Fr. Michael Bazzi delivered a compelling speech, encouraging students to continue pursuing greatness, in life and in the church. He congratulated each student and presented each with the Graduation booklet created each year in honor of the graduates. Fr. Bazzi also mentioned how each one of these students would influence the future, and how he hoped they would do so well.

 

The ceremony that followed was a great time for families to celebrate the achievements of their sons and daughters. The Knights of Columbus took the stage welcoming everyone, and then proceeded to honor the graduates by calling each individual out to the stage. The graduates lined up together and families cheered as they all stood together. It is a great wish of the church that more participants, graduates, and families come out next year to celebrate such joyous occasions. Having more children, teens, and adults involved is a great necessity to the church and would enrich the lives of many.

 

The Knights of Columbus also gave out four scholarships to students who worked hard, showed success in school, and were involved with the church. The scholarships were presented by several honorable men, including the Bishop, Fr. Felix, and the grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus. Issam Arabo performed with his band and the night was filled with food, music, and dancing.
