DEAR SHAREHOLDER:                                                     JUNE 2000

The Aquinas Funds are diversified and do not concentrate their investments in
any one industry sector. They are structured that way, in part, to reduce risk
during turbulent market conditions.  The first half of 2000 was very volatile
having some of the most dramatic equity market ups and downs in memory.
Contributing to the market turmoil were interest rate hikes by the Federal
Reserve and high oil prices. During the first half of 2000, the Internet dot.com
speculation bubble started to burst as investors began to shift their attention
to earnings potential in their analysis of companies. In addition to the ups and
downs of new economy versus old economy stocks, the value and growth styles had
dramatic shifts  during the first six months of 2000.
What happened in the first half of 2000? The Dow Jones Industrial Average was
-8.44% and the S&P 500/R was -0.42%. The Russell 1000 (large- and mid-cap
stocks) was up 0.78% and the Russell 2000 (small-cap stocks) was up 3.04%. The
Aquinas Equity Growth Fund (large-, mid- and small-cap stocks) was up 7.08% and
the Aquinas Equity Income Fund (large- and mid-cap value stocks) was -6.75%.

Bond markets had an inverted yield curve meaning short-term rates were higher
than long-term rates. This occurred because the Federal Reserve increased short-
term rates while the U.S. Treasury bought back long-term debt with the
government budget surplus. The Aquinas Fixed Income Fund (Intermediate term) was
up 3.14%. Interest spreads on corporate bonds have widened above comparable term
Treasury securities to historic proportions since the beginning of the year.
While this condition limited the returns of The Aquinas Fixed Income Fund during
the first six months, this bodes well for the future when the spreads return to
normal. We believe patient investors will be well rewarded.

The Aquinas Funds' Board of Directors has voted to restructure the Aquinas
Balanced Fund and rename it the Aquinas Small-Cap Fund. The change will take
effect later this year upon the completion of regulatory filings. The Board made
this change because the results of our Balanced Fund can be obtained by simply
investing in the other Aquinas Funds in the same percentage allocation as the
Balanced Fund. Aquinas personnel will work with existing shareholders to
accomplish their specific objectives. Many investors had asked us to open a
small-cap fund with Catholic values and this will happen when the fund is
renamed and restructured. The Aquinas Balanced Fund had a +1.47% return for the
first six months of 2000.

As an investor, the money that you place in the Aquinas Funds should be money
that you intend to keep invested for a period of at least three to five years.
We have observed that a number of investors move money in and out of the market
and from fund to fund too frequently. Either they try to time the markets,

"they have a need for action," or they have not clearly identified their
investment goals. If you find yourself moving money frequently from fund to
fund, we recommend that you consult with a financial professional about the role
that mutual funds play in your investment portfolio or you can call us and we
will give you some ideas on the subject.

<F1> Inception date of January 3, 1994.  Returns shown include the reinvestment
     of all dividends.  Performance reflects fee waivers in effect.  Absent fee
     waivers, total returns would be reduced.  Past performance is not
     predictive of future results.  Investment return and principal value will
     fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
     than the original cost.

CATHOLIC VALUES INVESTING has received a new challenging situation. AT&T (Ma
Bell) ANNOUNCED THAT IT IS CONSIDERING DISTRIBUTION OF HARDCORE XXX-RATED PAY-
PER-VIEW MOVIES ON THE CABLE NETWORK THAT IT ACQUIRED LAST YEAR. Aquinas Funds
and other concerned investors are involved in discussions with AT&T executives
and directors to reverse this situation. ON JULY 31, 2000, WE WERE INFORMED THAT
AT&T HAS INDEFINITELY POSTPONED ITS DECISION TO MAKE THE "HOTNETWORK" XXX-RATED
PAY-PER-VIEW MOVIE CHANNEL AVAILABLE. While Aquinas is working to obtain a
PERMANENT RESOLUTION, you as investors and concerned citizens can write to
challenge AT&T yourselves. Do not underestimate your power when you pick up a
pen or phone and make yourself heard.

Please call or write to:

AT&T has argued that parental controls are adequate and that their competitors
are distributing pornography. These arguments ignore the issue that AT&T would
be distributing raw pornography, that no parent can be comfortable when their
children are at other houses or places that do not consider parental control
systems, and that AT&T is the largest cable distributor in the U.S.
Pornographers could all state that their product must be OK because "Ma Bell" is
distributing it! This is business role modeling at its worst!

Target has responded to us about its involvement in the support of Planned
Parenthood. It states that its Dayton Hudson Foundation gave $18,000 last year
to Planned Parenthood. With the name change of the company from Dayton Hudson to
Target, it is setting up the Target Foundation which will develop a new set of
guidelines. Our request that Planned Parenthood be excluded will be considered.

May Department Stores has written to us to confirm that they no longer donate to
Planned Parenthood.

General Electric reports that women are being promoted to top operating
positions and we believe that the "glass ceiling" has disappeared there.

Over the past 6 1/2 years, The Aquinas Funds has proven that corporations will
respond to shareholder activism. One step at a time, your investment has given
us the platform to reach out to corporate executives and achieve results that
reflect an improved society.

Thank you for your continued confidence in us.

Sincerely,

/s/Frank Rauscher
Frank Rauscher
President and Treasurer

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION
The Aquinas Funds, Inc. was incorporated on October 20, 1993 as a Maryland
Corporation and is registered as a diversified open-end management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Fixed Income, Equity
Income, Equity Growth and Balanced Funds (the "Funds") are separate, diversified
portfolios of The Aquinas Funds, Inc.  The Funds are managed by Aquinas
Investment Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") and commenced operations on January 3,
1994.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.  These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP").  The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

a) Investment Valuation - Securities traded over-the-counter or on a national
securities exchange are valued on the basis of market value in their principal
and most representative market.  Securities where the principal and most
representative market is a national securities exchange are valued at the latest
reported sale price on such exchange.  Exchange-traded securities for which
there were no transactions are valued at the latest reported bid price.
Securities traded on only over-the-counter markets are valued at the latest bid
prices.  Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at
prices furnished by a pricing service, subject to review by the Funds' Advisor
and determination of the appropriate price whenever a furnished price is
significantly different from the previous day's furnished price.  Short-term
obligations (maturing within 60 days) are valued on an amortized cost basis,
which approximates value. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available and other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith
by the Advisor under the supervision of the Board of Directors.

b) Delayed Delivery Transactions - The Funds may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis.  Payment and delivery may take place
a month or more after the date of the transaction.  The price of the underlying
securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are
fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.  Losses may arise due to
changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty
does not perform under the contract.

c) Federal Income Taxes - No provision for federal income taxes has been made
since the Funds have complied to date with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and intend to continue
to so comply in future years.
d) Distributions to Shareholders - All of the Funds except the Fixed Income Fund
pay dividends of net investment income quarterly.  The Fixed Income Fund pays
dividends of net investment income monthly.  Distributions of net realized
capital gains, if any, will be declared at least annually.  Distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income
or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income
tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense or gain
items for financial statement and tax purposes.  Where appropriate,
reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that
are permanent in nature.

AQUINAS FUNDS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e) Expenses - Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly
attributable to it, such as investment advisory and custody fees.  Expenses that
are not directly attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds
in proportion to their respective net assets.

f) Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  The
Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by
comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds.
Dividend income is recognized on an accrual basis.  Premiums and discounts on
securities purchased are amortized using the level yield maturity method.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Each Fund has entered into an agreement with the Advisor, with whom certain
officers and directors of the Funds are affiliated, to furnish investment
advisory services to the Funds.  Under the terms of this agreement, the Funds
will pay the Advisor a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual
rate of the following percentages of average daily net assets: 0.60% for the
Fixed Income Fund; and 1.00% for the Equity Income, Equity Growth and Balanced
Funds.

The Advisor voluntarily agreed to reimburse its management fee to the extent
that total annual operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions and other costs incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of
portfolio securities, and extraordinary items) exceed 1.00% of the average daily
net assets of the Fixed Income Fund and 1.50% of the average daily net assets of
the Equity Income, Equity Growth and Balanced Funds, respectively, computed on a
daily basis.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000, expenses of $7,441 and
$3,836 were waived by the Advisor in the Fixed Income and Balanced Funds,
respectively.
