Albert was born in modern-day Germany in 1206 and joined the Dominicans in 1223. After completing his theological studies, he was sent to various universities around Europe to teach theology. Notably, one of his students was St. Thomas Aquinas, whose intellect Albert recognized immediately and helped nurture. In addition to theology, St. Albert became well known for his mastery of scholastic philosophy and natural sciences like biology and botany. His many works left a wide-ranging and lasting impact, and they earned him the title of Doctor of the Church.
