Mission </a></div> <div class="fsSummary"> <p>To have faith is to see the world in a particular way. As Catholics, we believe we receive the gift of faith in baptism — but it is a gift that must grow and develop. That’s why we study religion in the classroom — for faith must seek understanding if it is to light up our path in life. Faith needs to grow in understanding — but also, to have clear– sighted faith we need to grow in our relationship with the Lord. We are convinced that all human values find their fulfillment and unity in Christ. It is in Christ that the fullness of truth concerning man and God is to be found.</p> </div> <a class="fsPostLink fsReadMoreLink" data-slug="adom-posts/post/the-irreplaceable-role-of-catholic-schools-in-the-churchs-mission" data-opens-in="popup" href="https://www.aquinas-sta.org/news-media/news/~board/adom-posts/post/the-irreplaceable-role-of-catholic-schools-in-the-churchs-mission"> Read More <span class="fsStyleSROnly">about The Irreplaceable Role of Catholic Schools in the Church鈥檚 Mission</span> </a> </article> <article class="fsStyleAutoclear fsBoard-11" data-post-id="151" data-authenticated-comments="true" aria-labelledby="fsArticle_13708_151"> <a class="fsThumbnail fsPostLink " data-slug="adom-posts/post/reflecting-on-the-2024-sta-lenten-labyrinth-experience" data-opens-in="popup" href="https://www.aquinas-sta.org/news-media/news/~board/adom-posts/post/reflecting-on-the-2024-sta-lenten-labyrinth-experience"><img data-aspect-ratio="1.3333333333333333" data-image-sizes="[{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_1/v1710946349/aquinas/dksqlqu3w7zt2drgas5u/IMG_8630.jpg","width":256},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_2/v1710946349/aquinas/dksqlqu3w7zt2drgas5u/IMG_8630.jpg","width":512},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_3/v1710946349/aquinas/dksqlqu3w7zt2drgas5u/IMG_8630.jpg","width":800},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_4/v1710946349/aquinas/dksqlqu3w7zt2drgas5u/IMG_8630.jpg","width":1200},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_5/v1710946349/aquinas/dksqlqu3w7zt2drgas5u/IMG_8630.jpg","width":1600},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_6/v1710946349/aquinas/dksqlqu3w7zt2drgas5u/IMG_8630.jpg","width":2200}]" alt="Reflecting on the 2024 STA Lenten Labyrinth Experience" /></a> <div class="fsTitle " id="fsArticle_13708_151"> <a class="fsPostLink" data-slug="adom-posts/post/reflecting-on-the-2024-sta-lenten-labyrinth-experience" data-opens-in="popup" href="https://www.aquinas-sta.org/news-media/news/~board/adom-posts/post/reflecting-on-the-2024-sta-lenten-labyrinth-experience"> Reflecting on the 2024 STA Lenten Labyrinth Experience </a></div> <div class="fsSummary"> <p style="text-align: justify;">In a world often marked by haste and distraction, finding moments of introspection and spiritual connection can be a challenge.

The school seeks to develop each student’s God-given talents in a safe and caring atmosphere of sharing and challenge. Through a comprehensive program of Catholic teachings, quality education and personal development, St. Thomas offers to its students religious experiences, academic challenges, innovative approaches, athletic programs, and social and cultural opportunities, and service to others.</p> <ul> <li>We believe that each person in our school community, having been created in the image and likeness of God, has dignity and importance.</li> <li> <p><span style="font-size: 1em;">We believe that the entire school community shares in the responsibility to help all students develop their God-given talents to the best of their ability.</span></p> </li> <li> <p><span style="font-size: 1em;">We believe that the entire school community shares the responsibility of creating a safe atmosphere of caring, sharing, and challenge.</span></p> </li> <li> <p><span style="font-size: 1em;">We believe that students learn most effectively through diversified programs of educational opportunities, religious experiences, athletic programs, social and cultural opportunities, and service.</span></p> </li> <li> <p><span style="font-size: 1em;">We believe that all individuals in our school community deserve personal attention and recognition.</span></p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fsElement fsContent" id="fsEl_14352" data-use-new="true" > <div class="fsElementContent" > <p><span class="fs_style_23"><font color="#f1c40f"><span style="font-size: 28px;">OUR CATHOLIC IDENTITY</span></font></span></p> </div> </div> <div class="fsElement fsContent" id="fsEl_14353" data-use-new="true" > <div class="fsElementContent" > <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-4712f109-7fff-df6e-a1d1-1a63d4f8e8c9">The entire program focuses on the individual student, made in the image and likeness of God, who receives attention, affirmation, and challenge.</b></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Catholic identity thrives throughout the STA campus and in the hearts of students, faculty, and staff. Serving those who appear “the least” in the community remains the focus of our efforts in and out of the classroom. We encourage STA students to witness to the call of Jesus in service and faith.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>“Where does Jesus send us? There are no borders, no limits: He sends us to everyone."</strong></em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Campus Ministry awakens students and faculty to the reality of Jesus present in our lives. In various ways, faith formation remains our focus as we encourage students to engage and explore the Theology curriculum, retreats, religious events, and opportunities for individual involvement. Students serve as Eucharistic ministers, lectors, altar servers, singers, and musicians. STA students share their Catholic Identity through middle school and Confirmation retreat programs at our local parishes. Monthly Nights of Fellowship combine faith, friendship, and fun as the STA community celebrates our Catholic Identity and spiritual camaraderie.</p> </div> </div> <div class="fsElement fsContent" id="fsEl_13700" data-use-new="true" > <div class="fsElementContent" > <p><span class="fs_style_23"><font color="#f1c40f"><span style="font-size: 28px;">A MESSAGE FROM monsignor kelly</span></font></span></p> </div> </div> <div class="fsElement fsContent padding-x-2x" id="fsEl_13701" data-use-new="true" > <div class="fsElementContent" > <div style="padding: 40px;"> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>In the Footsteps of Our Savior</strong></em></p> <p>The average life experiences much joy as well as much sadness. In a comprehensive view, you can hardly have one element of success without some counter-balance of limitation. Depending on one's disposition, needs, circumstances, ambitions and efforts, the equation of success vs. failure can vary much. Some persons will appear to savor mostly moments of joy while others are saddled with more than their share of sorrow. Overall though, most every life will have its moments of joy in addition to times of challenge which frequently lead to sorrow.</p> <p>Jesus in his human nature experienced normal levels of emotion. When he gave hope to people he must have been elated. In caring for the sick, in feeding the hungry and in raising the dead to life, he must have felt good about a service well-done. But as we well know, Jesus also suffered the human emotions of loneliness, rejection and proximity to failure. In the final act of his human existence, he experienced physical, emotional and likely spiritual turmoil. Undoubtedly, he shared our experience of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, successes and failures.</p> <p>The ticker-tape type parade of the entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday evidenced the high public acceptance of Jesus by the people. After all he had cured them, fed them and given them hope in a miserable existence. He was in the mind of the onlookers the greatest (for now). He must have felt great. But such an atmosphere was shortly to dissolve. His endurance of the challenge that was coming was to be his best expression of greatness. He showed his true self in being able to carry out the challenge of life to the end.</p> <p>With great optimism in the footsteps of our Savior, Jesus, each of us can follow through on our own journey of experiences. The joys, sorrows, challenges and pitfalls will all come upon us. We must somehow find focus in the road that Jesus walked. Endurance, service, optimism, prayerfulness and hope will sustain us as we journey and look forward to sharing the joys of resurrection in our own lives. How great it is to have hope!</p> <p><em>Blessings,<br /> Father Vincent T.
