Parents
At lunch today in St. Joseph Commons, members of the Thomas Aquinas College community warmly welcomed to campus Dr. and Mrs. John Onyekuru, parents of soon-to-be-graduating senior Nnadozie:
Inspired by the work they do maintaining the gardens on campus, the women who work on Thomas Aquinas College’s grounds crew took a trip on Saturday to Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge. An internationally renowned botanical collection, the gardens boasts more than 3,000 roses and are home to North America’s largest camellia collection.
On Sunday, April 2, Thomas Aquinas College students performed in the second of this year’s two informal concerts — “Schubertiades” — in St. Bernardine of Siena Library.
Below is the program from the concert:
Pie Jesu, by Andrew Lloyd Weber
Performed by Anastasia Terreri (’18) and Vincent Terreri (’20)
Accompanied by Gwyneth McNiff (’20)

The brief video below features the Franciscan Way of the Cross, as read by Thomas Aquinas College students, accompanied by Chrysostomos, a student choral group. It includes beautiful photography of the College’s Via Dolorosa on the California campus’ lower drive —14 scenes that vividly depict Our Lord’s Passion and death.
On Sunday, March 26, the students of Thomas Aquinas College gathered for an event of their own creation, Cor Unum (One Heart). “Its purpose was to show appreciation for the College’s support of international students, as well as to celebrate the solidarity among cultures in the Church,” said junior Siobhan Heekin-Canedy (’18), who, along with senior Nnadozie Onyekuru and junior Esteban Rocha, helped organize the event.
On Friday evening the Thomas Aquinas College Choir, under the direction of Daniel J. Grimm (’76), performed Henry Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas before a packed audience in St Joseph Commons. Photos from the performance are available in the slideshow below:
The production was part of the 2016-2017 St. Vincent de Paul Lecture and Concert Series, endowed by Barbara and Paul Henkel.
This winter’s desperately needed rains have somewhat set back construction for the College’s next building, St. Cecilia Lecture and Concert Hall, but work still continues.
