Come meet the Doctor of the Universal Church— St. Thomas Aquinas! Using the engaging chapter book by Mary Fabyan Windeatt, we will learn about how St. Thomas’s love for Christ made him one of the most important theologians of Catholic history.
Course Description: Over the course of four weeks, students will read the chapter book Saint Thomas Aquinas: The Story of “The dumb Ox” by Mary Fabyan Windeatt. Each week, students will come to class to discuss what they read and to learn more about St. Thomas’s wonderful life as a Dominican and theologian. There will be a reading comprehension quiz each week, and a final book report will give students a clear mark of their achievement throughout the course.
