Education

At St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, we believe faith formation is a lifelong journey. Our education programs — Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (ages 3–12), Religious Education (4th-8th Grade), and STAT: St. Thomas Aquinas Teens — help children, youth, and families grow in their relationship with God and deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith through prayer, learning, and community.

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program offers a Montessori-based approach to faith formation for children 18 months –12 years of age, helping them grow in their relationship with God through scripture, liturgy, and quiet contemplation.

Our R.E. program helps youth, in 4th-8th grades, grow in faith through engaging lessons, community activities, and preparation for the sacraments. Rooted in the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, our program seeks to form lifelong disciples of Christ.
