President’s Letter

What are God’s plans for you in 2018?



hen two disciples first saw Jesus, they asked “Where are you staying?” Jesus said, “Come, and you will see”
(John 1:38, 39). This is all Jesus asked of the first disciples, followers who barely knew him. It’s all Jesus
Wasks of us today.

It’s the time of year when we roll out the old and bring in the new. It’s the time for making new resolutions. We
resolve to spend more time with family, we resolve to work efficiently, and we decide to become healthier by dieting
and exercising.

The start of a new year is an opportunity to assess our dreams, hopes and goals for the coming year. But the question
that the scriptures and our teachers here at Aquinas invite us to reflect on is: what are God’s plans for us this year?
This January, the Board of Trustees adopted a new five-year strategic plan, which outlines the initiatives and goals
Aquinas will use to guide us to where we need to be in the future, and equally important, where Jesus is calling us as
a Catholic school to “come and see.”

Aquinas Institute continues to be a beacon of light for our community. We have 744 students, 180 full- and part-
time employees, and over 14,000 living alumni. The results of our faith-based education are excellent! Young men
and women prepared for college and life beyond; tomorrow’s leaders in our family, business and community who
are ready and anxious to answer God’s call to “come and see.” This issue of The Landmark provides examples of how
members of our Aquinas community were called to serve, and how they answered the call.

We don’t know what the future holds for us. Rather than just pray for what we want, can we resolve to pray more
often and pray that we hear God’s voice when he calls us? In 2002, I prayed for guidance on my next career move.
I answered the call, which brought me to Aquinas. I signed-up for seven years and 15 years later, I am still here. I
continue to commit myself to serve Aquinas as President. I do so with great joy because of the dedication of our fac-
ulty and staff, the sense of pride and accomplishment I get with each graduating class, and because of the dedicated
support we receive from alumni and friends through their volunteering, prayers and financial gifts.
With God’s grace and your support, we will work our strategic plan and fulfill our mission that is God’s plan for our
school. Thank you for your continued support. As you establish your goals for 2018, I invite you to prayerfully con-
sider what God’s plan is for you and let your response be “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”

Happy New Year!



Michael R. Daley, 1979

operation: share joy






It goes without saying that the people and experiences in our lives are what inspire
who we are and what we do. For Aquinas junior Caty Collins, that could not be more

true. This past December, she brought Operation Share Joy – an annual holiday
tradition started at St. Rita’s school in Webster – to Aquinas.




























hile the idea behind it came from St. Rita’s, Caty’s inspiration
Wto enliven Operation Share Joy here at Aquinas came from
her father, United States Air Force Colonel John Collins, Jr.

Growing up in a military family, Caty and her brothers – John ’20
and Michael ’17 –know what it’s like to be without a parent for
months at a time, worrying about their safety and praying for their
well-being. Caty’s father has been deployed three times throughout the two decided to expand the scope of Operation Share Joy and

Marybeth (Bell) McConnell ’93 was working full-time as an operating room nurse in 2012 when her life took

a drastic turn. Marybeth’s husband Bill – owner of Healthy Glass Tinting, a residential and commercial window
tinting business here in Rochester – was in a severe car accident that left him with broken bones and a severed
artery, which lead to strokes.

The couple continued to run the tinting business with
more involvement from Marybeth. In 2014, she took over.

installed privacy fi lm at West Point.
Additionally, they work with many big

to install privacy fi lm, security fi lm

While nursing was what Marybeth

Emily Doell ’16, current sophomore at Seton Hill University in Pittsburgh, was recently awarded
an academic scholarship from Upstate Golf Charities to attend college. In addition, she was
presented with a $2,500 gift to be given to the nonprofi t of her choice, which for Emily, was a
simple choice to make.

She presented the gift to Th e Notre Dame Learning Center – a sponsored ministry of the School
Sisters of Notre Dame that provides one-on-one tutoring to Rochester City School District
children in language arts, reading, math and technology. Emily spent many hours at the center
tutoring children in English when she, herself, was a student at Th e Aquinas Institute. We
commend Emily for her desire to make a diff erence in the community, especially in the lives of

Houston, TX back in August, Dallas residents Brandon Colombo

The two loaded up a Jeep full of supplies and safety gear, hitched
a boat they bought on Craigslist to the back, and headed down to
Houston to help where they could.

With Houston’s main highways under water and unable to get
through, Brandon and Dylan decided to head into some of the
smaller towns outside of Houston that were hit hard by the storm.

was taking place. Brandon described the scene when they got

The Calihan Endowed Fund




oe Calihan ’56 still remembers the visit Father Gardner, CSB paid him in Pittsburgh more than thirty years
Jaft er graduating high school because, he said, “it’s what brought me back to Aquinas.”

At the time, Joe and his wife Brenda were presented with the opportunity to name the school’s chapel, which
for Joe, was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Since 1991, it has been known as the Martin J. Calihan ’45
Chapel in memory of his brother Marty, who Joe remembers as his hero and someone who “stood for a belief in
serving others.”

Building on that legacy and belief in serving others, Joe and Brenda Calihan started the Calihan Foundation with
the objective of supporting the institutions that have helped them and their family members throughout their
lives. “We feel strongly about the importance of the values that Aquinas provides to students during the teenage
years that are critically important to the development of their character and their roles as citizens,” said Joe. “We
think the school is doing an amazing job of providing both academic and personal values.”


For these reasons, Joe and Brenda have recently made an unrestricted gift to Aquinas that will undoubtedly have
a lasting impact on the students, faculty and staff , and allow them to continue to deliver the core values that
Aquinas represents.

Joe is the Managing Partner of Bradford Capital Partners – a venture capital and private equity fi rm specializing
in venture capital investments and acquisition and development of entrepreneurial businesses. He admits that he
has been very lucky and fortunate in his business career, which has allowed him to give back – both fi nancially
and with his time and talent. Joe has served on the Board of Directors for many Pittsburgh area organizations
including Bradford Schools, Inc., Tender Care Learning Centers, Extra Mile Education Foundation, the Pittsburgh
Foundation, the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania, the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and the
Pittsburgh Symphony. In 2014, he started the Mansmann Foundation, to assist the development of entrepreneurs
in the underserved communities of Pittsburgh seeking economic revitalization.

Joe and Brenda raised four children and are now the proud grandparents of 14 grandchildren ranging in ages
from nine to 22. With his personal and professional success Joe gives a lot of credit to Aquinas. “I still remember
things said to me by the priests and nuns that resonate with me about how to live one’s life appropriately,” he
stated. “I hope that maybe this message resonates with someone out there who will also give back.”

Goodness, Discipline & Knowledge Society




Goodness, Discipline and Knowledge—this motto is the foundation of the Basilian
tradition and has been an integral part of life at Aquinas for more than a century now.

We deemed it only fi tting that the creation of a Goodness, Discipline and
Knowledge Society (or “GDK Society”) would include those who choose to
remember Aquinas in their estate plans, thus ensuring their continued legacy
evermore.

We salute those who remember Aquinas in this way with grateful appreciation. The
names of those alumni and friends who have told us of their plans are listed below.
Your gift will help Aquinas students to achieve “that which they were made for.”

My parents have always taught me to be kind, disciplined, and to seek knowledge wherever possible, aligning with the Basilian tradition
here at Aquinas. I know that my capacity to do all of these things will expand ten-fold through the Aquinas experience. Aquinas will open
doors to see things differently, expand my abilities, improve my character, and push me as I progress through the years, an experience I know
I am lucky to be a part of. – JS, Class of 2021
