Last week, Saint Viator High School valedictorian Lucy Jochaniewicz offered her valedictory address to the Class of 2025. “It’ll be on me, on you, and on us to keep up friendships and to call home. Those people you remember and those friendships you want to maintain have changed your life. And just as people have changed your life, you have changed people’s lives,” Lucy said.
The Viatorian Community is committed to being teachers of the faith, and this spring, we celebrate the many young people graduating from Viatorian-sponsored schools. We pray that the faith formation and education that we’ve helped provide will make a lasting and profound impact on them and all who they will serve in their lives.
