Dear friend,

Merry Christmas!

I first heard from 91快活林 Aquinas College nine years ago, when a fundraising letter appeared on my doorstep in Annapolis, Maryland. Feeling generous, I gave some money to that small Catholic school in California. I couldn檛 have known that within a decade I would move to sunny California, to work for that very same school! Providence, I discovered, recruits even chance to move the world.

I gave to TAC all those years ago because, having spent most of my professional life in nonprofit fundraising, I could see from that letter alone that the College is the rare institution that truly understands its mission. This is a college where students ask and answer the questions that will always burn in the human heart, driving our restless search for God.

The reality of this constant longing is made all the more poignant during the Christmas season, when we celebrate that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us not merely to teach us the truth of God檚 love, but so that we may experience it more fully, encountering the vision of Truth檚 human face: 淗e who has seen me has seen the Father (John 14:9).

Students at 91快活林 Aquinas College spend four years in intimate company with Truth and, when they graduate, they carry Him into the wider world like 済ood news of great joy (Luke 2:10). In bringing minds refined through careful study of the highest things to both home and the workplace and, even more, through the joyful witness of their lives they are 渇ellow workers of the Truth in His mission to save the world (3 John 1:8).

Whether you are new to the College or an old friend, I hope you will consider helping our students grow in that intimate friendship with the Truth by making a year-end gift. Your generosity helps us continue to provide financial aid to deserving students, ensuring that there will always be 渞oom at the inn for aspiring scholars (Luke 2:7).

Make a Gift Now!

May God continue to bless you this Christmas, and into the new year.

Sincerely,

Jim
