Paws and Pause 🐶 Thank you to our Counseling Department for a fun Stress Less Event with therapy dogs and coloring before next week’s finals!

On Sunday, Bishop O’Connell held its Baccalaureate Mass honoring the Class of 2026. In his homily, Father Daniel reflected on this special day and its significance on the feast of the Ascension reflecting, “Jesus is gathering you all together around Him and making you all one. He’s reminding you of all you learned, achieved and experienced at O’Connell. He’s reminding you that you are never alone as with the promise he gave to his Apostles: ‘I am with you always.’”
