Faith Formation
St. Thomas provides a welcoming environment where students can live their values joyfully and share them generously. Faith formation is at the heart of our mission. Our community gathers regularly in prayer as well as for monthly Mass and special celebrations. St. Thomas nurtures the spiritual growth of each student through meaningful, age-appropriate opportunities that deepen their relationship with God and the community.

Altar Serving and Lectors
Students in 4th grade and up are invited to become altar servers. First Friday Masses offer the opportunity for every grade to lead the community through the Mass as lectors or gift bearers. All of these are important ministries that allow students to actively participate in Mass while building confidence and poise. Throughout the school year, we have many special Masses and celebrations that bring the entire school community together.
