Growing up, my daughters loved hearing stories. In fact, I could have read the same story over and over to them, and it wouldn’t have mattered.

The balanced and harmonious composition of The Triumph of St Thomas Aquinas challenges our sense that faith and learning are competing priorities in a school.

“And these priests serve wherever God calls them – from parish priests, chaplains, and bishops, to teachers, missionaries, and church planters, the alumni and the people they serve benefit from the formation of the whole person through worship and Christian service. The Body of Christ is nourished; and God is glorified.”
