Welcome Home, Class of 1976
Members of the Class of 1976 from Central Catholic, Saint Mary High School, and Presentation of Mary Academy celebrated the 50-year anniversary of their graduation!
The Golden Anniversary Welcome Home Reunion
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 - Salvatore's Restaurant, Lawrence
Thank you to all who attended the Golden Anniversary Celebrations!
Additional photo albums are included below.
Members of the Class of 1976 celebrated their Golden Anniversary from Wednesday, May 20, and Thursday, May 21, 2026.
Nearly 135 alums from CCHS, SMHS, and PMA attended events over the course of the two days.
- On Wednesday evening, the class gathered at the Welcome Home Reunion Reception & Dinner at Salvatore’s in Lawrence.
- On Thursday morning, classmates participated in a Reunion Mass in memory of deceased classmates in Carney Family Chapel. The Mass was celebrated by Fr. John Delaney '79, Pastor of Sacred Hearts Parish in Bradford.
- Mass was followed by the Golden Diploma Breakfast (the Class of 1976 was joined by members of the Class of 1956 on the occasion of their 70-Year Reunion).
- Tours of the Central Catholic Campus were led by members of our Student Alumni Association (SAA).
- Members of the class served as Grand Marshalls for Central Catholic's 88th Commencement and were recognized during the ceremony.
- The Reunion festivities wrapped up on Friday with an impromptu dinner at The Miller's Tavern in Methuen.
It was a wonderful experience filled with sharing old memories and making new ones.
