Metropolitan Borys Gudziak celebrated liturgy for the graduates of Saint Basil Academy

On June 3, Metropolitan Borys Gudziak celebrated liturgy for the graduates of Saint Basil Academy, located in Jenkintown, PA. The celebration was joyful and sad at the same time. After 90 years of service, the school will close. The Class of 2021 is the last one of this private, Catholic high school that provided an education for young women.

During his homily, Archbishop focused on the topic of gratitude. “The word eucharist means thanksgiving. I am celebrating this Eucharist in thanksgiving for you, your parents, the teachers, and the Basilian sisters. Now your journey will take an important turn; we pray and give thanks for what you have learned, for the friendships that have developed, and for the championships that have been won. We are blessed to have God who wants to be with us and to have a Saviour who is with us during a storm. We are blessed to have our Sisters, who sacrificed their lives to help others by teaching students and giving shelter for orphans.”
