About

The Catholic community at 46 No. Eagleville Rd., Storrs, draws inspiration from the enduring legacy of St. Thomas Aquinas, a renowned Doctor of the Church. Born in 1225 in Roccasecca, Italy, Aquinas devoted his life to reconciling faith and reason, leaving an indelible mark on Catholic theology. His seminal works, including the Summa Theologica and Summa Contra Gentiles, have guided Catholic thought for centuries, exemplifying the perfect harmony between intellectual pursuit and spiritual devotion. As a patron of students and universities, Aquinas embodies the Catholic ideal that faith and reason are intertwined, encouraging scholars to approach truth with both rigorous inquiry and prayerful reflection. On January 28, the community celebrates the feast day of this intellectual giant, who remains a powerful model of intellectual charity and a testament to the transformative power of faith and reason.
