From late May to mid-June, graduating seniors from Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles celebrated the end of an era --- and the beginning of the next one --- at commencement ceremonies filled with smiles, tears, promises and hope.

This week, The Tidings presents some of the moments from these milestone celebrations that will forever live the minds and hearts of the young men and women --- and their families, friends and teachers. (Our thanks to the schools for providing the photographs.)
