SANTA PAULA, CALIFORNIA —
The Board of Governors, faculty, staff, and students of Thomas Aquinas College join Christians the world over in praying for the repose of the soul of His Holiness Pope Francis.
“It is a testament to the Holy Father’s love and endurance that he saw the Church through Holy Week and Easter Sunday, then met with Vice President Vance, before dying only hours later,” says President Paul J. O’Reilly. “What a beautiful consolation that Our Lord would call him home on Easter Monday. We pray that the ‘Pope of Mercy’ is enjoying eternal peace in the arms of our merciful savior, and we pray for the Church and the world in the days to come.”

About Thomas Aquinas College
With campuses in California and Massachusetts, Thomas Aquinas College has developed over the last half century a solid reputation for academic excellence in the United States and abroad. It is highly ranked by secular organizations, such as The Princeton Review and U. S. News, as well as Catholic guides, including the Cardinal Newman Society and the National Catholic Register. The college offers one, four-year, classical curriculum that spans the major arts and sciences. Instead of reading textbooks, students study the original works of the greatest thinkers in Western civilization — the Great Books — in all the major disciplines. Rather than listen to lectures, they work through these texts in small, rigorous classroom discussions. The academic life of the college is conducted under the light of the Catholic faith and flourishes within a close-knit community, supported by a vibrant spiritual life. Alumni consistently excel in the many world-class institutions at which they pursue graduate degrees in fields such as law, medicine, business, theology, and education.
