A message from Michael E. Engh, S.J., President, Santa Clara University:
Dear Members of the SCU Community,
With a heavy heart I send the news that one of our third year law students, Luciana Manriquez, died yesterday in a tragic car accident. Luci was from Chino, CA. As a community that supports its members in times of joy and in times of sorrow, we join with Luci’s family and friends in prayer and offer consolation amidst the pain of great loss.
While we mourn Luci’s passing, we also thank God for the gift of her life. We will remember Luci at a candlelight vigil this evening, June 26, at 7:00 p.m. in the Mission Church, and celebrate her life at the noon Mass tomorrow, June 27, also in the Mission Church. Gathering as a community offers us the chance to pray for Luci, offer support to her family and console one another in our grief.
Memorial Services for Luci also will be held in Pomona, CA, on Tuesday, July 2, at 1:00 pm at:
