Marian Seniors Pass the Light of Leadership to Class of 2027
On April 30, Marian held Candlelight, a beloved tradition that marks the passing of leadership from the senior class to the junior class and celebrates the enduring bond of Marian sisterhood. Centered on the theme from Matthew 5:16, “Your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father,” the ceremony called students to lead with faith, compassion, and courage.
During the ceremony, seniors passed a glowing candle to the junior class while juniors offered yellow roses in return, symbolizing friendship, unity, and the deep connection shared by Marian women across generations.
Through student and faculty reflections, music, and shared tradition, Candlelight honored both the accomplishments of the Class of 2026 and the leadership now entrusted to the Class of 2027.
