Saint Thomas the Apostle Parish

The purpose of our Religious Education Program is faith formation - the ongoing development of the whole person into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.  All Catholics are on a journey of faith formation beginning in the waters of Baptism and ending with eternal life with Jesus in heaven.  Our Religious Education Program strives to provide a solid foundation in our faith, age-appropriate to the students in our program.  

St. Thomas the Apostle Parish's Religious Education Program is under the direction of the Faith Formation Team:

Mrs. Melissa Silka (Facilitator) and Mrs. Lisa Lockwood (Administrator)

Classes meet on Sunday mornings from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at the former St. Thomas school building.  

If you have a student in grades K - 11, please call the parish office (814-663-3041) or speak to one of the Faith Formation Team members about joining our Religious Education Program (REP).  Links to our REP registration form, handbook, class schedule, and other important resources can be found below:
