Baccalaureate and
Commencement
Baccalaureate – What is it?
• Baccalaureate is a worship service for all graduates
and their families. Marking the end of the year in
ritual, readings, and blessings, we mark this turning
point of students and their families as sacred time.
This service celebrates a graduate’s degree
completion and commends them to God’s blessing
and keeping. This worship includes the celebration of
Holy Communion where all are welcome!

Why are there restrictions on who
can participate in the ceremony
• Commencement commemorates

• Past students who were allowed to
participate early never completed their

especially if work was taken elsewhere.
