Our Patron: St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) A Dominican friar was an Italian theologian and philosopher. He is credited for harmonizing theology and philosophy by systematizing theology and revitalizing the works of Greek philosophers such as Aristotle in the process. Considered to be one of the greatest influences in Western philosophy and the Catholic Church. St. Thomas Aquinas also earned the distinction of “Doctor of the Church” a title given to very few throughout history. Those who hold the distinction have been very influential in the development of Catholic doctrine and are accredited to writings that are regarded to be timeless and true.
