Religious Education for Children Pre-School age through Grade 6
St. Thomas the Apostle Parish is proud to offer educational options for our families; finding the best "fit" for their religious education. Options that we offer are as follows:
-Our traditional Religious Education Program meets weekly on Wednesdays at 4:30-5:45 pm. Students in classrooms by grade and their teachers are volunteers (known as CCD classes).
-We offer a Family Faith Formation option that meets twice per month on Wednesday Evenings from 6:00-7:50pm. Dinner for the family is included with this option. After dinner, students go to their grade-level class. Parents meet for discussion time led by our priests while students are at class.
-The third option is a Home Study option. Students complete grade-level studies online with the guidance of their parent, grandparent, or other adult. Progress is monitored via the Religious Education Office.
