More than 200 students from Thomas Aquinas College plan to join a Walk for Life on Saturday in San Francisco.
The two-mile walk, starting at the city's Civic Center Plaza, will protest abortion and celebrate life, said Sarah Dufresne, 20, a junior at the Catholic private college in Santa Paula.
“Virtue, Ethics, and the Christian Life: Thomistic Reflections”
In anticipation of the upcoming groundbreaking ceremony for St. Gladys Hall, the College has commissioned two artist’s renderings of the new classroom building. The renderings are the work of Domiane Forte (’00), principal of Forte & Associates, an architectural firm based in Santa Paula, Calif.
On Sunday two prominent Southern California business leaders visited Thomas Aquinas College to share their acumen, their stories, and their insights with the College’s students. In two simultaneous, 90-minute sessions, students had their choice of meeting with Jim Partridge, owner and president of Smith-Emery Co., a construction engineering firm in Los Angeles; or Jerry Deitchle, chairman and CEO of BJ’s Restaurants, Inc.
When Americans gather in Washington, D.C., on Friday for the annual March for Life, many will be inspired, in part, by one of Thomas Aquinas College’s late champions of the unborn, Andrew “Kent” Moore (’14).
Students to Lead Route
“THE 2 BUSES ARE FULL!!”
Thus proclaims the sign on the billboard in St. Joseph Commons, where Thomas Aquinas College students get their campus news and notices. The buses are the two large passenger coaches that will help bring some two-thirds of the College’s student body to San Francisco this weekend for the Walk for Life West Coast. Other students will take cars, or ride up with faculty and chaplains, as they have every year since the Walk first began in 2005.
E. L. Wiegand Foundation Awards $600,000 Grant for Renovations
This summer, when Thomas Aquinas College begins construction on its second classroom building, St. Gladys Hall, it will also refurbish its first, St. Augustine Hall, with the assistance of a $600,000 grant from the E. L. Wiegand Foundation of Reno, Nevada.
His Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, the Archbishop of Galveston-Houston, has accepted President Michael F. McLean’s invitation to serve as Thomas Aquinas College’s 2013 Commencement Speaker. The youngest American cardinal, and the first Cardinal Archbishop from the Southern United States, he will travel to campus this spring to participate in the College’s May 11 graduation exercises. He will also serve as the principal celebrant and homilist at that morning’s Baccalaureate Mass.
