SANTA PAULA, CALIFORNIA —
“We at Thomas Aquinas College join our fellow Catholics world over in celebrating the elevation of our new Holy Father, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. May his episcopal motto, In Illo uno unum — drawn from the words of St. Augustine, ‘although we Christians are many, in the one Christ we are one’ — be the hallmark of his pontificate, unifying all Christians in faith and charity. We pray to Our Lady Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas, for this first American pope and for his intentions.”
— Paul J. O’Reilly, Ph.D.

About Thomas Aquinas College
With campuses in California and Massachusetts, Thomas Aquinas College has developed over the last half century a solid reputation for academic excellence in the United States and abroad. It is highly ranked by secular organizations, such as The Princeton Review and U. S. News, as well as Catholic guides, including the Cardinal Newman Society and the National Catholic Register. The college offers one, four-year, classical curriculum that spans the major arts and sciences. Instead of reading textbooks, students study the original works of the greatest thinkers in Western civilization — the Great Books — in all the major disciplines. Rather than listen to lectures, they work through these texts in small, rigorous classroom discussions. The academic life of the college is conducted under the light of the Catholic faith and flourishes within a close-knit community, supported by a vibrant spiritual life. Alumni consistently excel in the many world-class institutions at which they pursue graduate degrees in fields such as law, medicine, business, theology, and education.
