Bishop Shanahan High School held its commencement exercises on the morning of June 5 in the BSHS auditorium, paying tribute to the Class of 2026.

This year’s graduating class included 231 students who were accepted to four-year colleges and universities such as Saint Joseph's University, The Catholic University of America, Villanova University, Virginia Tech, and Brown University.

The class also received more than $65,000,000 in total college scholarships. Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🦅💚

On the evening of June 3rd, the Class of 2026 celebrated Baccalaureate Mass at Saint Elizabeth Catholic Church in Chester Springs. Baccalaureate Mass is a time honored tradition remembered by Shanahan alumni for years to come.

This beautiful liturgy invites priests and deacons from the students' parishes, families, and friends to concelebrate. The graduates also receive a special blessed cross during the Mass to serve as a treasured keepsake and reminder that just like the love of Christ, their alma mater will also remain in their hearts.

Congratulations and blessings, Class of 2026!

Yesterday, our freshman classes completed their Consecration to Jesus through Mary after participating in Fr. Michael Gaitley’s 33 Days to Morning Glory retreat. As part of this special milestone, students wrote the consecration prayer and spent time one-on-one with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration.

It was a beautiful day of prayer, reflection, and commitment as our students entrusted themselves more fully to Christ through the loving guidance of His Blessed Mother.

Today, seniors celebrated Senior Memory Day by signing yearbooks, rocking their college gear, and cooling off with water ice. The countdown to graduation is officially on!

The Class of 2026 kicked off their Senior Memory Day today by gathering for Mass with Father Monica, marking the start of a special day full of lasting memories!

Modesty is lived in the way we carry ourselves before God and one another, choosing simplicity over self-importance and humility over attention. It is a quiet strength that reflects Jesus in how we speak, act, and serve, reminding us that what we do is never for recognition, but for love. Through a humble spirit, we are called to place others before ourselves and to build up the community with grace and intention.
