Coffee House is an annual dinner and talent show held during the Winter Quarter. It celebrates our talented and diverse community and features musical acts to comedy to magic from all our Students, YAGS, and Residents. Join us for this night of friendship and fun. All our welcome.

Graduation Mass and Reception

Each year on the Friday of Commencement Weekend we come together at 8:00pm to celebrate our Students and their families.
