June 11, 2016 - This special mass is offered to celebrate the accomplishments over years of study, through the good times and the hard times, the joys and the disappointments that characterize the awesome Stanford experience for our remarkable students, and to thank the faculty and staff for their dedication and love poured out and into them. We also conferred Fr. Tierney awards to two students and one permanent member of the CCAS for being especially wonderful instruments of Christ's joy in loving others. Fr. Xavier reminds us that the sinner in today's gospel was forgiven by Jesus, and that is a model for us to follow.
