Graduation day for Central Catholic

The masks hid their smiles, but you know they were there. Saturday was graduation day for Central Catholic High School's Class of 2021 in a 1 p.m. ceremony at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Morgan City. It wasn't quite a return to normal, because the graduates, many members of the audience, and clergymen and altar attendants wore masks at the urging of Houma-Thibodaux Diocese Bishop Shelton Fabre, who presided at Saturday's graduation. Otherwise, mitigation measures have been relaxed enough to allow a mostly traditional commencement. Five valedictorians and one salutatorian led the graduates into the church.
