Religious Education and Adult Faith Formation

Religious Education

The parish of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church recognizes the parent as the primary educator of their child. (Deuteronomy 11:19)  Therefore, as religious educators, we work closely with the family to provide a well rounded Catholic faith program.  It is with the family that children attend Mass and celebrate the Sacraments.  The family and the parish, through Religious Education and Faith Formation programs, need to be a team in the religious education of their children.  

 

Adult Faith Formation

Here is an opportunity for the adults of our parish to grow in their Catholic faith, while the youth of our parish grow in theirs.  During Religious Education, beginning November 11th, videos will be shown in our Parish Center on a large screen.  Each video will be shown twice, once from 6:30 p.m. until 7:30pm.  The second time it will be shown at 7:45 p.m.  Please join us. Go to the “Updates” section at the top, right corner of this page for information on the videos each week.

Parade Around the Our Father 

 

Children of all ages, STEP RIGHT UP, put on your marching boots and join the Our Father Parade! Meet St. Joseph of Cupertino, THE FLYING FRIAR! Learn the meaning of the Perfect Prayer on earth given to us by Jesus, the Perfect Teacher! The Our Father or Lord's Prayer contains fifty-six POWERFUL words that summarize the Gospel teachings.  Children will travel with Saint Joseph of Cupertino, the patron saint of students, on a quest to serve God despite the many obstacles in his life.  They will learn about his struggle with schoolwork, poverty, and rejection, and how God stepped in and helped his faithful friend.  By the power of the Holy Spirit, time and time again, Joseph was lifted "off the ground" because of his holiness.  Remember the Bible message; All things are possible with God.

 

Hear EXCITING Bible stories, AMAZING music and enjoy outdoor activities (weather providing)!  You won't want to miss a beat.  It may be HOT this summer, but you'll be COOL in Vacation Bible School! 

 

The registration fee is $25.00 for the week.  Also available are a Music CD, T-shirt and a book; all are optional and for an additional fee. 

 

We hope you can join us!
