INTRODUCTION

Commentator:
Good afternoon, dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

This is the day the Lord has made, we rejoice and are glad!

For us graduates, this is a gracious time and we are grateful to God for the gift of graduation
day, and so we have gathered together to celebrate God’s goodness and to proclaim His faithful
love for us all.
We thank our Lord for all the special people who have stood by us and have supported us all
the way and have encouraged, challenged and guided us to become the best we could ever be.

Our dear parents, administrators, teachers, schoolmates and friends will be remembered and
treasured in our hearts. Since we raised them up to God for Him to bless in His providence, we
also pray for ourselves, young graduates. As we praise God, we beg Him to give us the courage
to face the challenges and trials we encounter in our lives.
In grateful love and joyful celebration, we offer this Eucharistic celebration to be presided over
by our beloved celebrant _____________________________________.

PENITENTIAL ACT

failures and ask the Lord for pardon and strength.
All: I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in
my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, (striking your
breast 3 times, say): through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;
therefore, I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and
sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Celebrant: May the Almighty God have mercy on us forgive us our sins and bring us to
everlasting life.
All: Amen.
 LORD HAVE MERCY

Commentator: Please be seated for the Homily.

HOMILY
(After the Homily) Commentator: Please rise for the profession of Faith.
All: I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible
and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the
Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not
made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our
salvation he came down from heaven, (bow for the completion of this sentence) and by the Holy
Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under
Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance
with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He
will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I
believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness
of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
