"Love Begins Where Knowledge Ends"

  

St. Thomas Aquinas:

Thomas Aquinas believed that all people were learners - that every human being has the capacity to understand the world through careful thought and prudent action.

The knowledge derived from worldly experience - from learning - can reflect the divinity of God that lives within each of us; thus, each individual can grow to be fully conscious of God's perfect love and devine wisdom.

The Crest:

St. Aquinas Crest contains symbols that reflect Aquinas's deep faith and quest for understanding. The shield, crossed by an X - a symbol of Christ - divides our crest into four quadrants, each with a specific artifact to represent Aquinas's saintly character.

Fixed in the top of the crest is an open book, symbolic of learning and knowledge. The number five (5) contained within a globe represents one of Aquinas's primary contributions to philosophy and theology. The five proofs of God's existance, found in his monumental work Summa Theologiae. At the bottom of the crest is a head of an ox. Aquinas - known as the "dumb ox" to his contemporaries - was said to be slow of speak and long to think. Finally, a sun represents the warmth of a life lived in the pursuit of wisdom. Just as the sun is constant, so is wisdom.
