Father Charles Jagodzynski, OFM Conv., who taught at O’Hara from 1968 to 1979 and was a favorite of students and faculty, celebrated the liturgy in the Performing Arts Center. Members of the Class of ‘74 brought a white rose and lit a white candle in honor of those alumni, O’Hara faculty and family members who have died.

Following the liturgy, a breakfast concluded the three-day reunion.
