One special Catholic Saint for me is Saint Thomas Aquinas, known as the Angelic Doctor. St. Thomas is famous for the Summa Theologica, which is the representation of his philosophical views. He is also very popular for his views and comments about God and His existence.
Belonging to an opulent clan in Italy, Saint Thomas decided to become a Dominican, which allowed him to immerse himself into profound intellectual work and studies such as Theology and Philosophy.
St. Thomas of Aquinas is particularly close to my heart because my school during my elementary and High School is named after him – the University of Santo Tomas, the Catholic University of the Philippines run by the Dominican Order, and the oldest existing school in the country.
In fact, St Thomas is considered a favorite Catholic Saint among Filipinos, and is known for being the Patron Saint of Catholic Schools, students and scholars. His feast day is on January 28.
