We are Called

St Thomas

Infant Jesus School was established by the Dominican Sisters in 1954.

St Thomas was born in a mountainside castle in southern Italy, not far from the great BenedicKne Abbey of Monte Cassino. His father was the count of Aquino and his mother, a noblewoman from France.

When he was five years old, Thomas was sent to Monte Cassino to study to become a monk. Thomas conKnued his studies in the university of Naples. While he was there, he started a\ending the Dominican church. The Dominicans sent Thomas to study in the best schools in France and Germany.

Thomas excelled in his studies and wrote many books. His last and greatest book was the Summa Theologica. In it Thomas tried to answer the quesKon, “What is God?” Thomas believed in sharing his knowledge. He once said, “CommunicaKng one’s thoughts to others is greater than merely thinking.”

At Infant Jesus School we try to follow the example of St Thomas Aquinas in being faithful and using the gi]s that God has given us to learn, to always be hopeful and to share God’s wisdom and love.

God of Faith

We pray that we can be like St Tomas Aquinas. Grant us a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, Wisdom to find you, And hope of finally embracing you.

Amen.

We celebrated the Feast Day of St Thomas Aquinas with a facKon photo last week.
