Discipleship is a lifelong journey. We can never exhaust all of the richness and beauty of life with Jesus through the Catholic Church. So as a parish, we deeply explore our faith and continue to make space to Grow in a variety of ways. At St. Thomas the Apostle our mission is to raise up Spirit-filled disciples. Grow provides a platform for us to continue to mature as disciples through our many and different ways for adults, families, youg adults, teens, children/youth to grow. Explore the various available programs and ministries to help develop a deeper relationship with Jesus. Whether it’s in a Bible Study, Study/Teaching Series, Retreat or social activity, our Parish goal is to provide meaningful and diverse options whereby parishioners can become the best disciples possible.
Opportunities for adults to grow in their Catholic faith are many. Among them are:
Adult Confirmation
Bible Study
ENDOW
Marriage Preparation
Marriage Mentoring
Spanish Bible Study
Study Series/Teaching Series
Too many people are buying into what the world says is most important. We need to make loving our families our top priority. We need to make loving our spouses our top priority.* Marriage and family life are intended to be pathways to holiness; they are meant to be an adventure. St. Thomas annual family retreats offer parish families the opportunities to play, pray and grow together. Families and family members will be strengthened and grow together. Those attending will form new meaningful friendships. Typically there are four tracks:
Couples’ track
Teen track
Middle-school track
Small children track
