Baccalaureate Mass

St. Vincent de Paul Church

1010 W. Webster Ave.

DePaul’s commencement weekend begins with the opportunity to gather in a spirit of prayer and thanksgiving with graduating students, their families, and DePaul faculty, staff, and administrators. All are invited to attend this Catholic Mass to celebrate and give thanks for God's many blessings on our graduates.

Graduates, faculty, staff, and administrators who wish to participate in the procession will gather at 3:00 p.m. in the Student Center Atrium, dressed in commencement regalia (cap and gown).

Designated pews will be reserved for students, faculty, and staff who RSVP to join the procession. Faculty and staff who wish to attend but do not wish to join the procession or wear academic regalia may go directly to the church and sit in the open seating areas.

Please RSVP for Baccalaureate Mass by completing this form.

Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, even with an RSVP.
