SANTA PAULA -- His Eminence Marc Cardinal Ouellet will preside over commencement ceremonies at Thomas Aquinas College on Saturday May 16, 2009. The Archbishop of Quebec, Canada, Cardinal Ouellet will serve as principal celebrant and homilist of the Baccalaureate Mass, and he will deliver the commencement address.
By resolution of Thomas Aquinas College’s Board of Governors, Cardinal Ouellet will also be awarded the Saint Thomas Aquinas Medallion, the college’s highest honor, established by its Board of Governors in 1975. The resolution is given in recognition that “His Eminence Marc Cardinal Ouellet has shown an exemplary loyalty and devotion to the Holy Father and the magisterium of the Church and has worked tirelessly to proclaim, support, and defend the teachings of the Church, and to advance the mission of Christ on earth.”
The college has a newly appointed interim president following the tragic death of Dr. Thomas E. Dillon in an automobile accident in Ireland last month. Says President Peter DeLuca, “We very much look forward to welcoming His Eminence Cardinal Ouellet to our campus for this joyful occasion. Our graduating seniors, their families, and all our guests will be blessed by his priestly presence and edified by the words of wisdom he will share with us. We will also be greatly honored to have His Eminence offer, on the morning of commencement, what will be the first Baccalaureate Mass on the new altar of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel.”

Honor to whom honor is due.
GOD ALONE is due some levels of honor.
That’s what the story of David and the spring water is about.
May God's blessings be upon Cardinal Ouellet. I'm glad we have him close by.
