Alumnae welcome seniors through Academy tradition
Seniors were inducted into the Academy’s sisterhood at the Alumnae Investiture on Apr. 27.
The evening began with a processional of several alumnae and the seniors and concluded with the singing of the alma mater.
After the processional, each senior followed the tradition of lighting a candle from the Christ candle and was given a small token.
Many seniors’ mothers were part of the Alumnae Investiture since they too were graduates of Sacred Hearts.
Senior Shayla Trinidad said, “My mother was part of the alumnae who walked in and I think it was a special experience for her seeing me becoming an alumna and graduating soon.”
Alumna Sheryl Carvalho Chun said, “As an alumna, I was very pleased to be able to experience such a delightful event. It was amazing to see my daughter and her friends being welcomed as incoming alumnae. The girls looked lovely and it was a bittersweet experience to welcome my daughter into the sisterhood of the alumnae of Sacred Hearts Academy. The tradition still holds!”
