Shamrock Week 2025 COMING SOON! MARK YOUR CALENDARS: THIS YEAR’S SHAMROCK WEEK IS MARCH 17 – 21, 2025. Shamrock Week is a week-long fundraiser that directly supports the Aquinas Fund. Throughout the week, we feature matching gifts from generous alumni and engage in class challenges to raise funds and inspire friendly competition. Each year, the Aquinas Fund provides critical resources for our students and faculty by supporting essential needs such as financial aid, faculty development, the arts, athletics, facilities maintenance, and technology. With YOUR support, we are paving the way for a future where the next generation of leaders is shaped by the principles of the Basilian motto: “Teach me Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge.” Aquinas Fund gifts are what allow us to keep tuition affordable for families who value Catholic education. By investing in the future of Aquinas, you help preserve our tradition of excellence and ensure that we continue to nurture students who are well-prepared to lead with integrity and faith.
