Perhaps the first time Lancaster Catholic High School seniors saw some of their classmates without masks all year was Thursday â graduation day.
The 148-member Class of 2021 gathered together Thursday morning outside, mostly unmasked at Crusader Stadium to celebrate the end of four years, almost half of which consisted of masks, social distancing and an unprecedented level of unpredictability due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
âI really have great admiration for you,â commencement speaker the Most Rev. Ronald Gainer, bishop of Diocese of Harrisburg, told the graduates. âTo say that your senior year was unique would be an understatement. The last months of your junior year and your senior year was nothing short of extraordinary.â
