“Recently I had the distinct privilege of returning to my home parish, St. Teresa of Avila Parish in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, to celebrate and preach the Eighth Grade Graduation Mass of the parish school.
“Now it’s somewhat unusual to have a visiting bishop officiate at such an event, but my presence was occasioned by the fact that this year marks the 50th Anniversary of my graduation from the eighth grade of the same school.”
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on the challenges facing today’s eighth grade graduates.
