To give special recognition to those who are helping to secure our future, we are thrilled to announce the formation of the 1925 Society. This society honors all who have thoughtfully included Aquinas Institute in their estate plans. 

Aquinas first began educating Dominican friars in 1925 at the House of Studies in River Forest, IL. Since 1925, Aquinas has graduated almost 2000 men and women to serve the church as preachers, teachers, ministers, and leaders. These graduates have been instrumental in bringing the gospel to people across the globe. 

Inspired by our Dominican heritage, we want to continue to share the gospel in word and deed by sending out well- formed and highly-educated people to serve the church. 

By joining the 1925 Society, you can participate in this 100 legacy built upon 800 years of Dominican tradition. You can ensure a lasting legacy when you make a gift from your will or trust. 

If you have included Aquinas in your estate plan, or would like to discuss a planned gift or establishing an endowed fund, please contact Fr. Patrick Baikauskas, OP, 314-256-8800, so that we may recognize you for your gift and properly thank you  while also making certain that your gift is used as intended.
