In preparation for the opening of its new campus this fall, Thomas Aquinas College has named its first New England chaplain: Rev. Greg Markey, parochial vicar of St. Lawrence Parish in Shelton, Connecticut.

On the evening of Friday, June 28 — the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus — members of the Thomas Aquinas College community prayed the Holy Rosary for the sanctification of priests. The gathering was part of WorldPriest’s annual Global Rosary Relay, an international prayer chain in which members of the faithful across the world take turns praying a designated set of mysteries, thereby encircling the planet in prayer for 24 hours.
