Saint Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.

Saint Thomas Aquinas, after whom the college is named, was born around 1225 near Aquino in southern Italy. He studied first at Monte Cassino and then at the University of Naples before going on to Paris and Cologne as a member of the Dominican order. Thomas was an outstanding writer and teacher of philosophy and theology. He died at Fossanuova in 1274.

As well as being the patron saint of our college, Thomas is also celebrated as the patron of students, theologians and universities. His feast day is celebrated on 28th January each year.
