With the spring semester drawing to a close, the College’s intramural soccer league recently concluded its season with two exciting championship games. First the women’s teams took the field for an intense match that went into overtime. The men’s teams played afterward, only barely finishing in time for underclassman seminar.
Over the course of these next three days of the Easter Triduum, many Thomas Aquinas College students will spend their time in retreat, praying over, reading, and discussing the works of the Church’s next saint — Bl. John Paul II.
Giving thanks to God “for Dr. Dillon and for all the kind and generous people who have built this school,” the Most Rev. José H.
