After welcoming Our Lord to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the students of Thomas Aquinas College last week celebrated the Easter Triduum, lingering with Christ in the Upper Room, walking with Him from Gethsemane to Golgotha, and keeping vigil at His tomb until His glorious resurrection.

A distinguished philanthropist and a noted prelate have agreed to serve as Thomas Aquinas College’s two Commencement Speakers for 2023: in New England, Daniel Flatley, a trustee of The Flatley Foundation; and in California, the Most Rev. James D. Conley, Bishop of Lincoln.
