Remarks at the California Thanksgiving Dinner

Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation, read earlier by Mr. Seeley, was delivered at a time of great national trial. Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November a national day of thanksgiving on October 3, 1863.
The planet of Mercury glided across the face of the sun Monday morning, providing a spectacular view for students on Thomas Aquinas College’s California campus. From a balcony in St. Thomas Hall, dozens watched through a telescope, outfitted with a solar filter, that was the gift of a new friend and benefactor of the College, Mr. Paul Dougherty.
“It has been very heartening to see how many people have been willing to sacrifice for the good of Thomas Aquinas College, for our students, and for the spiritual life of our new campus,” says Rev. Greg Markey. “We are grateful to God, to all who have given, and to all who are still giving.”
In this Month of the Holy Souls, please pray for all of the College’s deceased alumni:
Last Saturday marked the first-ever Homeric Games of Thomas Aquinas College, New England. For the event, organized by sophomore Pierce Mulholland, the men of the Wilson Residence Hall competed against each other — second floor vs. third floor — in several team and individual competitions modeled after the Homeric Funeral Games.
Some 28 Massachusetts priests and deacons from Franklin and Hampshire counties met for their bimonthly meeting Monday on the site of the newest Catholic institution in the vicariate: Thomas Aquinas College, New England.
“It was a wonderful evening,” says Rev. Msgr. Ronald G. Yargeau, episcopal vicar of the Franklin and Hampshire deaneries. “We were received with great kindness and graciousness, and we were able to interact a bit with the students and join them for the Rosary. I think we were all duly impressed.”
