Hey guess what!

My mom was just worried to death earlier about my aunt, who is very elderly and has parkinsons and is in a nursing home in Brazoria County which is being evacuated. Mom didn’t know where they were going to take her.

She just found out!

They are taking her to St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic church in College Station...the same town my mom lives in!!

Good ol’ Catholics!!

(How does one pronounce Aquinas?. My mom says it’s pronounced “Uh-quine-us”. I am thinking “Uh-keen-us”.)

Great news on your aunt’s relocation to College Station. And yes, go with your Mom’s pronunciation.

I’ve always heard it Uh-quine-us or Aaah-quine-us

Your Mom’s right, if the town is named after St. Thomas Aquinas. But then, them Texans sometimes do strange things with names. ;o)
