I won't
My nephew did not attend his college graudation because of the cost of it.
Lucky you. Our university is big, and each school (Engineering, Journalism, Education, Arts and Sciences...etc) has its own graduation ceremonyy. My college is the biggest, and the ceremony lasts about an hour and a half. Not to mention the lining up beforehand and the obligatory pictures with proud parents afterward (I do not mind that part). It takes half the day, and this being Missouri, it is either cold and drizzly or burning hot.
Then there is the M.A. ceremony, and the PhD ceremonies later in the week. It is not a fun week.
I am shocked and amazed that you could find a rabbi that would not only officiate at the ceremony, but do so knowing that any children of the union would be raised in the catholic church. That is, generally, NOT something that rabbis do. In fact, the vast majority wouldn't officiate at an intermarriage at all.

Those rabbis are rare as hen's teeth but they do exist. I also had a Jewish/Catholic wedding with a priest and rabbi. He was a rabbi who put an awful lot of mileage on his car because he was the rare exception to the rule you are familiar with. He was actually suggested by the priest because they had worked together before.
