Alumni & Parent Day 2017: Photos & More

Alumni, parents of current students, and their families from throughout Southern California converged on campus Saturday for Alumni and Parent Day. The event began with Mass in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel, followed by brunch in St. Joseph Commons. In the afternoon, the College hosted three separate seminars, led by members of the teaching faculty, about St. Thomas Aquinas' writing on charity from the Summa Theologiae.

“It was a great time, bringing together so many parts of the College community,” says Robert Bagdazian, coordinator of the Thomas Aquinas College Parents’ Association. “We can’t wait to do it again next year!”
