Alumni Days
Alumni Days 2007 More than 70 alumni returned to TC recently to mark their reunion during the seminary's annual two-day Alumni Days celebration held this year on October 2 and 3. Alumni from classes ending in “2” and “7” were the honorees at Alumni Days 2007. Special mention goes to the Class Representatives, Mr. Vincent Murphy from the Class of 1962 and Father Charles Brown, III (Wilmington) from the Class of 1967, who worked so hard to get their fellow classmates -- many traveling from far distances including California and Nova Scotia, to join them this year at TC where they marked their 45th and 40th year reunion. Bishop Michael Jarrell of Lafayette, LA, member of the Class of 1967, was the presider and homilist for the special Alumni Days Mass on Wednesday, October 3.
