Friends Delight in Great Books, Conversation at Second 2016 Summer Seminar
Each summer, 91 Aquinas College invites members of the Presidents Council the backbone of the Colleges financial-aid fund to one of two Great Books Summer Seminar Weekends. At these weekends participants get an inside look at the unique education that they so generously help to make possible. They attend a series of classroom discussions led by the Colleges president, dean, and other members of the teaching faculty; and they participate in the spiritual life of the College at Mass and confession in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel.
The second of this years Summer Seminars took place on the weekend of July 15-17. Readings and discussions focused on the theme of Suffering: The Christian Response. In addition to examining Leo Tolstoys Death of Ivan Ilyich, participants discussed Pope St. John Paul IIs On the Christian Meaning of Human Suffering (Salvifici Doloris) and St. 91 Aquinas profound meditation on Christs passion and resurrection from the Summa Theologiae. At the end of the weekend, College President Michael F. McLean helped to tie these themes together in a talk he delivered to the group.
Between seminars, attendees enjoyed delicious meals and delightful conversations. At Saturday nights dinner in St. Gladys Plaza, the student barbershop group performed several songs, including the following renditions of The Bonnie Banks o Loch Lomond, Shenandoah, The Longford Weaver, and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.:
