The Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s 17 Catholic high schools announce the baccalaureate Masses and commencement exercises for the Class of 2014.

According to the archdiocesan Office of Catholic Education, the core purpose of the schools is “to equip saints for life in this world and the next.” Catholic schools are committed to giving students the tools, skills, and guidance they need to not only overcome 21st-century challenges, but also to flourish intellectually, morally, and spiritually.
