Grotto Project

Join us in renovating the Marian grotto in honor of Fr. Phil Bowers, who faithfully served St. Thomas Aquinas from 1972 to 1993. His profound impact on the university community continues to be felt to this day. As a dedicated advisor to Theta Chi and many other campus organizations, Fr. Phil touched many lives. In his memory, and in keeping with his love for the outdoors, we invite you to help restore the Marian grotto as a lasting tribute to his legacy.

We anticipate the cost being roughly $250,000, but this is subject to change with final specifications for the project.
