Lynnfield's Dwight DeGeorge graduates from Assumption

Lynnfield's Dwight DeGeorge was one of 653 graduates to receive a degree during Assumption College's 100th Commencement exercises on Sunday, May 14, held at the DCU Center in downtown Worcester, in which speaker John L. Allen, Jr., editor of Crux, a publication that focuses on news of the Vatican and Catholic Church, delivered the Commencement address. DeGeorge received a Bachelor of Arts degree.

"What is perhaps most appealing about Allen [...] is his accessibility in presenting a refreshing take on Catholicism today," said Sonia Nunes '17, this year's salutatorian, in her introduction if the speaker. "His innovative style of religious reporting is one that we can all appreciate, as it strives to 'Light the way' for both Catholics and non-Catholics to understand and appreciate the role of the Church in the modern world."
