Rev. Richard Rossiter urged Aquinas High School graduates at Holy Cross Seminary to adopt the See See Judge Act approach amid world tensions. He warned against procrastination and daydreaming, urging students to recognize problems, judge them in light of Christ, and act to achieve peace and contribute to the world.
