Professional Commitment Ceremony for Nursing Finalists at Porto Cathedral

On 10 July 2026, at 5:30 p.m., the Porto Cathedral will host the Professional Commitment Ceremony of the final-year students of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing at Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Porto Regional Centre.

This ceremony marks one of the most significant milestones in the academic journey of future nurses. Through a public commitment, students affirm the ethical, humanistic, and scientific principles that guide the nursing profession, reaffirming their dedication to person-centred care, professional responsibility, and the protection of human dignity.

Held as part of the Thanksgiving Mass, the ceremony celebrates the completion of a demanding journey of learning, personal growth, and commitment. It symbolizes the transition to a new stage of life, honouring not only the achievements of the graduating students but also the vocation that inspires each of these future healthcare professionals.

It is also an opportunity to acknowledge and thank all those who have been part of this journey—faculty members, classmates, family, and friends—whose support has contributed to the students' personal and academic development.

The entire academic community and the general public are warmly invited to join this celebration and witness a commitment that marks the beginning of a new chapter in the service of health, care, and others.
