Aquinas Academy Presents the Hillbilly Thomists at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish Hall

We are thrilled to announce that our favorite banjo-plucking, fiddle-playing Dominican friars—The Hillbilly Thomists—are returning to Delaware for an exclusive, private concert on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 6:30 PM!

Please Note: Due to the chance of inclement weather, we're moving the show indoors to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish Hall (345 Bear Christiana Rd., Bear, DE 19701)—conveniently located just about 15 minutes down the road.

As these incredibly talented priests and brothers travel the Eastern U.S. on their Strange Land Tour 2026, they are making a special detour to Aquinas Academy's community—for the second time in four years—just for us!

If you haven't heard them yet, you’re in for a treat! They beautifully weave deep Catholic theology into the rich, energetic traditions of American folk and bluegrass music. Their work serves as an uplifting instrument of evangelization, and we are honored and privileged to be able to host them once again! We invite you to listen to their music and learn more about their musical apostolate at The Hillbilly Thomists Official Website.

This evening of music is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate, join in community, and rejoice in the many graces God has given us.
