Catechetical
Our mission is to foster and nurture the faith of our parish children in a lifelong journey with our Catholic Community.Our goal at Saint Thomas Aquinas Kids (STA KIids) is to provide a loving and caring learning environmnet with Jesus as our model. We strive to instruct the child in his/her faith as a Catholic and to help children grow spiritually. The program strives to help children grow spiritually. We incorporates age and developentally appropriate activites: litergy of the bible, arts and science. The program brings together the community of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint Albert the Great and Our Lady of the Rosary.
Much of the catechesis for children greatly depends on forming and nurturing relationships with other believing children. This is why great emphasis is placed on the children attending Faith Formation classes regularly.
The true success of the program depends on the parents. The parent must insure the child attends all classes, learns their prayers, and experiences a Catholic environment as well as healthy faith practices at home.
