����AV

For two decades, the student choir Chrysostomos has delighted the ears of the ����AV, California, community with its rich harmonies and beautiful voices. This year, the choir will celebrate the 20^th anniversary of its founding with a concert on May 4.

Committed for four years to ����AV’s rigorous Great Books curriculum, students do not have much time to spare on a typical weekday. Yet, once a week during the campaign this past Lenten season, students on the California campus made time to pray outside the Planned Parenthood clinic in the neighboring city of Ventura. 

Inspiring both laughter and awe in their audience, the ����AV Choir and Orchestra performed Gilbert and Sullivan’s famous operetta The Mikado at this spring’s concert.

To help students approach their finances with prudence and confidence, Ray Walshe, regional vice president of Starr Insurance, spoke about financial responsibility on a recent visit to ����AV’s California campus.

Mr. Walshe, father of two TAC alumni, (’94), gave generously of his time and expertise in a two-hour personal finance workshop. The workshop, “A Financial Primer for the Soon-to-Be College Graduate,” was a crash course in money management, equipping students to avoid unnecessary debt and make thoughtful investing choices. 

“We pray that the ‘Pope of Mercy’ is enjoying eternal peace in the arms of our merciful savior.”

SANTA PAULA, CALIFORNIA —

The women of ����AV, California, set aside an afternoon for prayer, reflection, and community at last Saturday’s Women’s Retreat. Coming at the end of Lent and in the midst of a busy semester, the retreat gave the students a chance to slow down and recollect themselves before entering into Holy Week. 

Offering the first of many farewells to ����AV’s Senior Class, the California Class of 2027 served up sunshine, smiles, and poached eggs at this Sunday’s Sophomore-Senior Brunch. The sophomores spared no effort in giving the seniors a lavish send-off, decking St. Gladys Patio with flowers and paper lanterns and heaping tables with hot breakfast food.
