St. Thomas was born in the Kingdom of Castile, Spain in 1488.   
He was called "of Villanova" after the town where he was educated.     
From his pious parents he learned about charity for the poor.

When he was sixteen, Thomas entered the University of Alcala de Henares to study Arts and Theology.   
He became a professor there. He taught arts, logic, and philosophy.

He frequently repeated the words of the Saviour, "He is My brother and My friend who does the will of My Father."
