Hello everyone! I hope we are all about done with finals! 

Thank you to everyone who took part in the society's events this quarter. Your presence, ideas, and support touch many lives in Los Angeles. 

I know some of us are going out of town this break, but before you take off please consider stopping by St. Thomas More Parish

(2510 South Fremont Avenue  Alhambra, CA 91803)
