Fr. Peter Klink SJ, president of Red Cloud, presided over the Mass, which began with a traditional Lakota honoring song, followed by the Wazilya Rite, a traditional Lakota purifying ceremony. Students were encouraged to let their light and lives be of service and good, wherever they go.

The seniors also gathered around the altar for the traditional blessings from the teachers that have guided them throughout their time at Red Cloud.
