Sunday’s Mass was celebrated by Bishop Michael J. Fitzgerald, auxiliary bishop of Philadelphia.
During his homily, Bishop Fitzgerald talked about the school’s namesake, Archbishop John Carroll. “(This school) was aptly named for the first bishop of the Church in America. A man of piety, patriotism and intellect, at a critical time in the founding of our nation, Archbishop Carroll promoted spiritual and cultural growth, which continue to be an essential part of the mission of Archbishop John Carroll High School today.”

Christian Brothers and women religious who have worked at Carroll were part of the procession and were seated on the stage, which served as the altar for the Mass. “It united everything,” said Carroll Campus Minister Father Michael Speziale. “They are the ones that built Carroll.”
At the end of Mass, Goldschmidt asked faculty and staff, past and present, to stand. He said, “You are on the frontline. You deliver God’s message of faith and education to our students. You are the ones developing the saints of the future. Thank you for the first 50. Now onto the next 50!”

The students were among those in Mrs. Maral Daou’s Honors Biology class, who have been learning
about plants and Environmental Science.
"They performed a research project where they had to plant seeds, watch them grow, replant them and keep them alive," Mrs. Daou said. "This project allowed the students to learn about the challenges facing our food industry, farmers and the effect of environment on plant growth."
After finishing the third quarter, students went to the plant sanctuary to watch employees taking care of the plants. "The students were amazed and appreciated seeing all the exotic, rare plants and the amount of work it takes to maintain them," Mrs. Daou said.
