Together, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Clare offers a Faith Formation program open to all ages to provide the resources necessary to help people of all ages become disciples of Jesus Christ by learning, living, and sharing the love of God.
We achieve this by engaging children, teenagers, and adults through catechism, sacraments, service, social outreach, bible study, and prayer. We empower those we teach by living our faith, demonstrating how to build fulfilling, life-long relationships with Jesus Christ.
Our Faith Formation program is the catalyst for a life-changing journey, laying a foundation that has a life-long impact on our students, their families, our community, and the world.
Faith Formation Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is underway! It's time to embark on a wonderful journey of spiritual growth and learning. Whether you're a student or an adult seeking to deepen your faith, we welcome you to be a part of our vibrant community.
