Religious Education

We, the Board of Education of St. Thomas Aquinas, believe that Christian formation is a life-long process.

We believe that PARENTS have the primary responsibility for nurturing the faith life of their children.

The parish community shares that responsibility by:

Proclaiming in word and deed the gospel message of Jesus Christ
Providing formal instruction in Catholic doctrine and practice
Liturgical, sacramental, and prayer experiences for youth
Encouraging youth to participate in parish worship, community building and service activities
Supporting and fostering in all parish members a growing relationship with and commitment to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In addition, our parish community's commitment to students at Iowa State University challenges us to train college students in catechetical ministry.
