His greatest contribution to the Catholic Church is his writings, especially the Summa Theologica, his last and incomplete work, which deals with the whole of Catholic theology. In his portraits, St. Thomas is usually depicted with an open book and writing with a quill pen. He is patron saint of theologians, booksellers, learning, academics, Catholic schools, and students at all levels of formal education. + Feast: January 28 + Image Credit (VVP 002): Detail of an antique NeoGothic image of St. Thomas Aquinas from a devotional goldprint in chromolithography originally published by K[arel] van de Vyvere Petyt, Bruges, Belgium, late nineteenth-early twentieth century.
