Fr. Joseph Barranger, OP, pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas University Parish, invites all and especially the entire University of Virginia community--faculty, students, and staff, including those retired and alumni--to join graduating students and their families at 7pm on Friday, May 17, for the annual Baccalaureate Mass. This festive Mass on the eve of Commencement has grown into a great tradition of prayer over the years. UVA faculty and students are invited to wear their academic regalia and to join the procession into Mass. For more information and to RSVP, faculty and staff may contact Keith Kozminski; students contact Corinne Riley or visit this page!
