St. Thomas Aquinas
The stained glass window (to be pictured at a later date) was donated by Patrick Feeley in memory of Thomas Feeley and restored in memory of Anne Custom. St. Thomas Aquinas lived from 1225 AD - 1274. Of noble birth, he rejected a a life of riches to become a Dominican. He is the noted for his studies and using Aristotle to reason theology. His magnum opus, the unfinished Summa theologiae, is the basis for modern Catholic Theology. He is a Doctor of the Church, but it should be noted that later in life, while saying Mass, he had a vision of God, and as a result he stopped writing the Summa. He explained that after seeing God and all His Glory that all he wrote was mearly "straw". |
