In the waning days of Lent and at the opening of Holy Week, the students of Thomas Aquinas College, New England, prepared for the Easter Triduum — Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Holy Saturday. The Easter Triduum holds a special place in the liturgical year, marking the memorial of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
“You have been well-formed, and you know what a well-educated Catholic looks like; so, I need you to come be the leaven, the salt, to show what that looks like for students and other teachers,” said Jessica McGibbon, head of the lower school at Sacred Heart in Greenwich, Connecticut.
“All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!” chanted Cecilia Alvarez (’24) in front of a packed Moody Auditorium as she prophesied that the play’s title character, portrayed by Nathanael Cassidy (’22), would be the next king of Scotland.
With the NCAA National Championship looming on the big stage, the women of Thomas Aquinas College, New England, held a championship game of their own on Sunday.

Early in the opening stanza, Miss Short broke away for a few easy buckets, racing off to a 10-0 lead, but Margaret Duffy nailed two deep 3-pointers to shrink the gap to 10-6 before the end of first half.

According to the Catholic Church’s General Norms for the Liturgical Year and Calendar, the anniversary of the dedication of a church is to be celebrated as a solemnity by the members of the community in which it exists. As such, March 7 is doubly significant at Thomas Aquinas College, New England, for it marks the date of the death of the College’s patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, in 1274, as well as the Dedication of Our Mother of the Perpetual Help Chapel in 2022.
Embracing their Celtic spirit, students on the New England campus filled Tracy Student Center with Céilí dancing and Gaelic music this past Saturday evening for an early celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
