With Gratitude for Class of 2026 Parents

The senior parent appreciation Mass and breakfast is an annual event that recognized the parents of our soon-to-be graduates as commencement season approaches. The morning is a celebration of the parents' dedication to their children's education and formation throughout their years at Everest. The sentiment of the event was well-captured in this year's prayer written by senior Charlotte Taylor:

"Thank you, God, for the gift of our parents. Thank you for the love they have shown us, even through life’s challenges, and for the sacrifices they made so that we may grow, learn, and thrive. We are grateful for their patience, their guidance, and their prayers and for the strength they gave us through their examples. Bless them with health, peace, and joy. Reward their efforts, spoken and unspoken, seen and unseen. May they feel appreciated, supported, and loved, just as they have loved us so generously. We place them in Your care with thankful hearts. Amen."
