On Tuesday, October 17, Thomas Aquinas College will mark the 10th anniversary of the passing of its founding president, Dr. Ronald P. McArthur, by hosting a Missa Cantata on both campuses.

We will mark the 10th anniversary of Dr. McArthur’s passing by offering a Missa Cantata on both campuses:

• In California, Mass will be offered at 11:15 a.m. by Rev. Hildebrand (James ’78) Garceau, O.Praem., a Norbertine priest of St. Michael’s Abbey, and sung by the College’s Chant Schola under the direction of Tutor Dr. John Nieto (’89).
• On our New England campus, Mass will be offered at 4:45 p.m. by Head Chaplain Rev. Greg Markey, with music by the College Choir under the direction of Stephen Grimm (’75).
