We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2025 on Friday, June 6 for our Baccalaureate Mass and Commencement. Here is an important list of reminders and details for our graduates and their families and guests:
LIVESTREAM : we welcome everyone who cannot attend in person to visit the Camden Catholic YouTube or Facebook page to watch the Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation Live!
PHOTOS: CCHS will share a link to the photo album from all professional photos taken on graduation day with you. EVERY GRADUATE WILL HAVE A PHOTO TAKEN WITH THEIR DIPLOMA ON THE STAGE. Please DO NOT leave your seat to try and get photos. At the end of the ceremony, the students will have their traditional cap toss in front of the school building. In order for us to get a professional photo of this, we are asking that parents and families remain on the sidewalks and not near the flagpoles until after the cap toss.
TICKETS: required for all guests. Your ticket is either for the Dining Hall or the Auditorium. Keep in mind the Dining Hall is air conditioned, the Auditorium is not.
TIMELINE:
Family Legacy Photos 4-5pm in the Pisa Dining Hall (if you have parents, siblings, grandparents, great grandparents or other family members who are CCHS alumni)
Auditorium Doors Open 5pm,
Graduates must be in homeroom between 5-5:15pm, they should leave their phone with parents if they plan to take photos on the front lawn after the ceremony. No graduate is permitted to have their phone during Mass or graduation. Graduates will leave keys and other belongings in their homeroom. After leaving the ceremony they will return to homeroom to collect their belongings and their diplomas.
Line up of graduates starts at 5:20pm,
Procession starts at 5:40pm,
Baccalaureate Mass starts at 6 pm.
IF YOU ARE NOT SEATED AT 5:40PM you will miss the procession of the graduates.
COMMUNION:
we will have six stations for communion, three in the front and three in the back. We ask that all Catholics who would like to receive communion to exit the aisle on the left side and then return to their seats through the right of the aisle. We will bring communion to those who are in the Dining Hall.
If you are not Catholic, you are still welcome to come forward, cross your arms and receive a blessing.
Between Baccalaureate and Commencement: Please note that we have a short program between our two ceremonies, and we ask that everyone remain in their seats.
Cheering at Graduation: During the Commencement Ceremony for our students, we ask that all cheering and applause be held until the last student returns to his seat. We would like every parent to hear their child’s name and do not want to delay the ceremony in any way.
