Born in Italy in 1225, Thomas was gifted with an unparalleled intellect. He sought to enter the Dominican Order, but his family stopped him for some time by capturing him and holding him in their castle. Starts: January 19th Feastday: January 28th Introduction St. Thomas Aquinas Born in Italy in 1225, Thomas was gifted with an unparalleled intellect.
