Hello and welcome to our new updated website on The Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas. This is where we will post any news or details of new products. St. Thomas Aquinas, born in 1225 in Roccasecca, Italy, is one of the most influential theologians and philosophers in the history of the Catholic Church. He is often referred to as the "Angelic Doctor" due to his remarkable intellect and deep spirituality. St. Thomas was born into a noble family and was the youngest of nine children. He studied at the University of Naples, where he began his formal education in the liberal arts. At the age of 19, he became a Dominican friar against the wishes of his family. This decision marked the beginning of his lifelong commitment to the Dominican Order. St. Thomas is best known for his monumental work, the "Summa Theologica", a comprehensive systematic theology that addresses a wide range of theological and philosophical questions. He emphasized the compatibility of faith and reason, arguing that they complement each other in the pursuit of truth. St. Thomas made significant contributions to the development of the concept of natural law, asserting that moral principles can be discerned through reason and are rooted in God's divine order. He integrated the works of Aristotle into Christian theology, reconciling faith with the philosophy of Aristotle. Despite his intellectual prowess, St. Thomas was known for his humility and simplicity of life. He had a deep devotion to the Eucharist and composed many hymns and prayers in its honour. St. Thomas Aquinas was canonized as a saint by Pope John XXII in 1323, recognising his holiness and contributions to the Church. His teachings have had a profound and enduring impact on Catholic theology, philosophy and education. He is the patron saint of students, scholars and universities. His life and writings continue to inspire theologians, philosophers and seekers of truth to this day, making him a revered figure in the Catholic Church and beyond.
