First a thank you to those who organized it, both college team members and celebrating alumni.
Second a sadness that at least 29 of our 132 members are deceased.
Third a sadness that so few showed up. There was talk as the last attendees left that there needed to be a "post mortem". I suggest a "post partum". One of the lessons to be learned might be that organization of the events was not started soon enough. By several decades. A graduating class exists as a community up to the point of graduation. After that, it takes work to maintain any community.
Fourth joy at seeing those who showed. My personal sincere thanks for that.
Fifth the class of 2013 baccalaureate Mass or should I say Mess. The point where the liturgical incense set off the smoke detectors, may have been prophetic, or merely a point made by the Spirit that form is less important than substance.
requiescant in pacem to those who have gone before
ad multos annos to those who remain
