Honoring the Class of 2026: A Look at Our Inaugural Worship and Celebration of Graduates

With Moravian University's commencement season now complete, we reflect on the beautiful moments that led up to the big day — specifically our inaugural Worship and Celebration of Graduates at the Church of the Apostles in Lancaster.

This new tradition brought our seminary community together for a traditional Moravian Lovefeast and communal song, honoring our heritage of spiritual unity.

We were moved by the address from alumna Rev. Dr. Mandy Mastros, who offered an inspiring send-off to our graduates as they begin their diverse ministries.

It was a perfect afternoon of fellowship, marking a significant milestone in the spiritual and academic journeys of the Class of 2026.

Our full photo gallery is now available, featuring the colorful and heartfelt moments from this special gathering.
