As the patriots being turned down as suitable ancestors were also soldiers,the obvious question became: "Why base your membership application on a money contribution when the ancestor soldier had put his life at stake?" This led to a study of how the Spanish Army and Navy had worked during the war to defeat the English and thereby support the fledgling English colonies in their War for Independence. After a year of study, the results were presented to the NSSAR; and that organization in March, 1998, began accepting descendants of Spanish soldiers who had served in California.

  • 85856 Bobs BB Jesuit Grad Program CVR.Pd
    Commencement Exercises Jesuit High School, in its mission as a Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory school, labors to form men engaged in the world who are dedicated to serving God by being open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and just. Founded as Sacred Heart College on September 11, 1899, the school held its first year- end ceremonies on June 25, 1900 at Port Tampa. The event celebrated individual student achievement, with awards for merit distributed to the top student in each grade, including the 8th grade division. After an early period of growth and following an internal restructuring of the school’s curriculum, the first high school diplomas were awarded at Commencement Exercises in June of 1912. In the early decades, seniors wore tuxedos at the School’s Commencement Exercises. This was meant to reflect the high standards and dignity of the school and her pupils, as well as to enhance the formality of the event. This tradition was halted during the Great Depression and then reinstituted for our Commencement Exercises by the class of 2015 as a way to recover one of the school’s earliest traditions. The annual Baccalaureate Mass is a long-standing Catholic tradition during which the faculty, students, and families render the Lord praise and thanksgiving for the blessings He has bestowed on the graduating seniors. From 1912 through 1962, the annual Baccalaureate Mass was celebrated at Sacred Heart Church in downtown Tampa. Sacred Heart was completed by the Jesuits in 1905 and is the oldest Catholic church on Florida’s west coast. When St.
