The Official Send-Off is a mass and then get together. Last year, we had a separate mass on a Sunday afternoon specifically for the students. So it was smaller, more intimate and definitely dedicated to the students. This year we had it at the Co-Cathedral as part of their regular Sunday mass. There was a blessing for the students but not as personal. The get together is then immediately after mass where we have a meal and then break into groups. The Parents of the students meet with older alumni and other parents, and the students meet with other students. Both parents and students seem to enjoy this.
We also have a separate get together (dinner) for the incoming class and the Class before them. So this year, the Classes of 2012 and 2013 are going to go to Dave and Buster’s for their “Eat and Play” deal. Last year they went to Kemah (on the Gulf with a boardwalk and rides. All of the students really like this get together without parental oversight.
In addition, we invite the incoming class to our various service project that we have over the summer. There are a few that participate.
