“The whole pioneer experience is something that I am very much familiar with,” says new tutor Dr. Benjamin Block, referencing the students who are the first to study on Thomas Aquinas College’s new campus in Northfield, Massachusetts. When he was a college freshman, he, too, was a pioneer — one of the 33 initial students at Wyoming Catholic College. “It was wonderful to be a part of that,” he recalls. “We had a real sense that the input we gave was helping to make the school what it would become.”
“I support Thomas Aquinas College because I want others to have the opportunity to have the solid education that I received,” says Dr. Katherine Johnson (’06), an M.D. and MBA who works in marketing for a pharmaceutical company in Jersey City, New Jersey. “I use the Smile program because it’s an effortless way to make my shopping on Amazon meaningful.”
Thomas Aquinas College invites alumni, parents, benefactors, and other friends to walk and pray for the unborn with its students in January. Members of the College community will be out in force at all three of the following events.
In this, his first year as a member of the Thomas Aquinas College faculty, Dr. Peter Cross is teaching on the College’s California campus. Within the next two years, however, he will relocate to New England, which will be a homecoming of sorts: Dr. Cross spent much of his childhood less than an hour away in Leominster, Massachusetts, and most of his family lives there today.
The following remarks are adapted from Dean John J. Goyette’s report to the Board of Governors at its February 20 2019, meeting. They are part of an ongoing series of talks about why the College includes certain texts in its curriculum.
It’s finals week at Thomas Aquinas College, and students are supplementing their academic preparation with various forms of spiritual preparation — including seeking the intercession of the College’s beloved patron, St. Thomas Aquinas:
On Saturday, December 7, the students of Thomas Aquinas College, California, transformed St. Joseph Commons into a formal ballroom for the annual Christmas dance:
As is custom at the College, a large portion of the evening was dedicated to student-produced entertainment, with songs, skits, and caroling. There was also a dramatic reading of “The Night Before Christmas” for children of faculty members, followed by a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
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.
