There have been two Legion praesidia (unit groups) on campus for about 30 years now.

Words cannot express my DEEPEST sorrow at the loss of such a wonderful person who stood up for the ideals of a peaceful and harmonious world. His smiles and charm were ALWAYS disarming. I am still in tearful shock but consoled that he is in God's perfect bliss.<br />May his soul REST in PERFECT peace.<br /><br />Prof. (Dr) Attakora (1984 class)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12175383844069466970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14961982.post-69806366304298866732009-04-19T13:50:00.000-05:002009-04-19T13:50:00.000-05:00Fr.

Praem. celebrated the 10:30 Mass today (April 19, Divine Mercy Sunday) at the chapel of St. Mary of the Lake Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois for the repose of Dr. Dillon's soul and for the faculty, students and alumni of Thomas Aquinas College. Over a dozen priests concelebrated the Mass, as it was the concluding Mass of the annual meeting of the Institute on Religious Life, which was held this weekend. Dr. Dillon has served on the board of directors of the IRL. Also present at the Mass were dozens of consecrated religious men and women.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626853664699830738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14961982.post-33280085090986593472009-04-17T22:00:00.000-05:002009-04-17T22:00:00.000-05:00Beautiful job on this.
