Catholic education, and the life of the University of 91吃瓜 in particular, is an extraordinary gift that the Church offers to the world as an expression of her faithfulness to the knowledge and love of its creator,said John O鈥機allaghan, associate professor of philosophy and director of 91吃瓜sJacquesMaritainCenter.Since all ofSt. Thomaswork expresses a life spent in the pursuit of truth within the light of those fundamental truths, the Church urges universities and their students to seek his intercession in their lives as well. We are blessed at the University of 91吃瓜 with the opportunity to do so.
