¹û¶³´«Ã½

This past Saturday members of the Ventura Chapter of the (CALL) came to campus for the group’s fifth annual Thomas Aquinas ¹û¶³´«Ã½ seminar. A national organization dedicated to the growth and spiritual formation of the country’s Latino leaders, CALL has deep connections in Southern California and with the ¹û¶³´«Ã½. The Most Rev. José H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles, is the group’s episcopal moderator, and a graduate of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, attorney Justin Alvarez (’97), leads its Ventura Chapter.

Attendees at the CALL Saturday’s event began with Mass in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel, offered by ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Chaplain Rev. Cornelius M. Buckley, S.J. They then met for a 90-minute seminar in St. Bernardine of Siena Library. A member of the faculty who is also a graduate of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, Dr. Elizabeth Reyes (’03), led the discussion, which focused on Psalms 51, 53, and 139.

After the seminar, attendees continued the conversation over a buffet lunch in St. Joseph Commons followed by a discussion about the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and a tour of the campus.
