JST Commencement

As we approach the culmination of a transformative academic journey, the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University (JST-SCU) is delighted to invite our graduates, their families, friends, and the broader community to the 2026 Commencement Celebrations. This significant occasion marks a time of reflection, joy, and new beginnings as we honor the achievements of our graduates and send them forth with blessings and support.

Our commencement celebrations span multiple days and locations, offering a variety of events that reflect our Jesuit identity and mission. We look forward to gathering together in gratitude and hope as we celebrate each of our graduates' hard work and calling.
