Occupation	Philosophy

Dominic Pace (1851–1907) was a Maltese theologian and minor philosopher. In philosophy he mostly specialised in Aristotelico-Thomist Scholasticism.

Pace was born at Vittoriosa, Malta, on December 17, 1851. He joined the Dominicans in 1867 at almost 16 years of age. He accomplished his institutional studies in philosophy with the Dominicans at Rabat, Malta, and his theological ones with the Dominicans at Vittoriosa. Due to the colera epidemic which hit the Maltese islands in those days, Pace was sent to Florence, Italy, at the convent of Saint Maximin, to pursue his theological studies there. In 1874 he acquired his colour in philosophy and theology.

Back in Malta, Pace was ordained a priest, and chosen as the Master of Dominican Students at Rabat, Malta. Here, from 1874 onwards, he also taught philosophy at the Dominican Studium Generale. In recognition of his publication Difesa della Dottrina di S. Tommaso d’Aquino in 1877, Pace was made member of the Philosophical-Medical Academy of Bologna, Italy. Later, he was also awarded the title General Preacher by the Order of Preachers in Rome, Italy.

Pace died at Vittoriosa on June 29, 1907. Though his funeral was held at Vittoriosa, he was buried within the church of the Dominicans at Rabat, Malta.
