    Catechetical Mission Statement


    Our mission is to foster and nurture the faith of our parish children in a lifelong journey with our Catholic Community.

              Our goal at Saint Thomas Aquinas Kids (STA KIids) is to provide a loving and caring learning environmnet with Jesus as our model. We strive to instruct the child in his/her faith as a Catholic and to  help children grow spiritually. The program strives to help children grow spiritually. We incorporates age and developentally appropriate activites: litergy of the bible, arts and science. The program brings together the community of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint Albert the Great and Our Lady of the Rosary.

    Much of the catechesis for children greatly depends on forming and nurturing relationships with other believing children. This is why great emphasis is placed on the children attending Faith Formation classes regularly.  

    The true success of the program depends on the parents. The parent must insure the child attends all classes, learns their prayers, and experiences a Catholic environment as well as healthy faith practices at home.
     
    Children's Faith Formation
    Hours:
    Sundays from 9:15am-10:15am

    Ages :
     Classes are offered to children ranging from Pre-K through 5th grade. 

    Location:

    Our Lady of the Rosary - 3233 Cowper St, Palo Alto.

    Children's Catechumenate
    The Children's Catechumenate, known as (RCIA for Children) enables children in grades 3 through 12 to enter into a relationship with Jesus and share in the life of their identity as Christians through the Rite of the Catholic Church.  These classes are for those older children who have not been baptized or who have been baptized but who are still in need of their 1st Communion & 1st Reconciliation.

    Classes meet on Sunday morings Sept. through June.


    The Diocese of San Jose follows the Santa Clara COVID protocols for all sessions- The Diocese of San Jose
