Benefactors

On Friday, December 6, New England Chaplain Rev. Greg Markey and the Thomas Aquinas College Choir, directed by Stephen Grimm (’75), led a service of “Advent Lessons & Carols” in Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel. Students, faculty, faculty families, and friends from throughout the region came to the Northfield, Massachusetts, campus for the first of what promises to be an annual event.

Dear Friends of Thomas Aquinas College,

The fiscal year that closed on June 30, 2019, was one of preparation, as we laid the groundwork for the successful opening of our New England campus in August — in ways both practical and spiritual.

Dear Friends of Thomas Aquinas College,

Dear Friends of Thomas Aquinas College,

Over the past few weeks, much of the talk here on campus has been centered around our new campus. Next fall, by the grace of God, we will enroll the first students to Thomas Aquinas College, New England. Please keep them, and all those involved in this undertaking, in your prayers.

Over the years, Thomas Aquinas College has used various slogans to highlight particular facets of its unique program and mission.

Writing in the National Catholic Register, Patrick J. Reilly, president and founder of the Cardinal Newman Society, considers a question often raised by Thomas Aquinas College’s prospective students: “Can a college that teaches theology and philosophy be good at teaching science?”

Just as the Pilgrims celebrated their safe arrival in New England with a Thanksgiving feast in 1619, so, too, did the students, faculty, staff, and families of Thomas Aquinas College’s new campus in Northfield, Massachusetts, this past Saturday evening. Opting to forego the annual Christmas dance that students in California enjoy each December, the New England community chose to bolster their Thanksgiving Dinner with a dance, making it the major event of the fall semester.

Thank you, Mr. Gardner, for reading George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation. I am struck by a few details:

On Sunday evening President Michael F. McLean hosted California students, faculty, staff, and their families at an all-College Thanksgiving dinner.
