Memorial Gifts and Honorariums

Honor a Life. Advance a Mission.

A memorial or honorary gift to Aquinas College is a meaningful way to celebrate a loved one, express gratitude, or recognize a special occasion while supporting the mission of Catholic education and formation.

Gifts made in memory or in honor of someone help Aquinas College continue its work of forming teachers, religious sisters, seminarians, catechists, and lay faithful who will serve the Church and impact future generations. Through these gifts, a lasting tribute becomes a lasting source of blessing for others.

Unless otherwise designated, memorial and honorary gifts support the Aquinas College Annual Fund, which helps sustain the College’s educational and formation programs. Families and honorees are notified of gifts made in their honor or memory.

How to Make a Memorial or Honorary Gift
