Due to the extreme heat and humidity forecast for Saturday, May 21, the start time for Graduation has been moved to 9 a.m. Graduates must be in their assigned homerooms by 8:15 a.m. Baccalaureate Mass remains at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, May 20. Xavier has taken a number of other health and safety precautions as well:

- Water stations will be available in the hallway outside the gym. Guests are encouraged to bring a water bottle.
- The graduates will be provided with water at their seats.
- While masking is not mandatory, given the recent rise in COVID cases, guests are encouraged to wear a mask.
