“There is no word to describe the joy I had in discovering TAC and your summer program, and the sorrow I felt while leaving,” writes Nicolas, a high school student from Nantes, France, who attended this year’s program. “It was such a great opportunity, and these two weeks will stay to my mind as the best I ever experienced.”

As mentioned in the last post, after Mass and lunch yesterday, the students, prefects, chaplains, and a few tutors boarded four buses for Los Angeles and the Getty Museum. There they viewed world-renowned paintings, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and other works of art, including some by Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir, as well as sketches by Da Vinci and Michelangelo.
