THE SCRANTON JOUR NA L
Thomas Churilla, M.D. ’09 and Tara Gramigna, D.O. ’11 were married on The University of Scranton campus at Madonna Della Strada Chapel. They unexpectedly ran into a couple of students who asked if they and their a capella group could sing the newly married couple a song. They sang “Red is the Rose.” “Despite their busy schedules and pending finals week, they took time out of their study day to give us a gift that we will cherish forever. To these men: we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You reminded us of how incredibly proud we are to be University of Scranton alumni,” wrote Thomas and Tara in a recent note to The Scranton Journal. Read the story at scranton.edu/scrantonjournal.
