Allentown Central Catholic High School seniors, their families and friends celebrated a Baccalaureate Mass June 4 at St. Thomas More Church, Allentown.
The Rev. Allen J. Hoffa, chaplain, ACCHS, provided the homily.
Hoffa said this year's challenge to the seniors was the theme, "Behold, I make all things new."
Hoffa challenged the students to look at themselves and one another and think about how they could be made new.
"Class of 2015, you have done very well in the challenge," Hoffa said.
Hoffa said the students have excelled using their gifts in music, art, athletics, community service and faith.
Also at the Baccalaureate Mass, Dennis McCarthy, a 1981 ACCHS graduate, received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Principal Dennis Nemis.
Following the Mass, students and their families gathered on the lawn of St. Thomas More Church for photos.
