Gathering for annual Mass
About 50 BC alumni, family, and friends — ranging from those graduating in the 1950s to a member of the class entering this fall — attended the chapter’s annual Mass and reception today.
Celebrating the Mass in St. Therese Chapel at Cathedral Catholic High School was Peter Gyves, SJ, ’73, ’94, ’08, associate pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the only Jesuit parish in San Diego.

A reception followed on the school grounds. Here’s a gallery of photos from both the Mass and reception.

Weeds be gone
San Diego Eagles, as their part in BC’s Global Days of Service, spent several hours Saturday helping to beautify a section of the grounds at Our Lady’s School, affiliated with Our Lady of Guadalupe, San Diego’s only Jesuit parish. The church and school are located in Barrio Logan, a heavily Hispanic and low-income neighborhood of San Diego.

The crew removed weeds from alongside one of the buildings, constructed plant beds, and hauled soil to fill the beds.
