WE BELIEVE...

At Aquinas, our first goal is to help you develop your relationship with God. You will have daily religion classes where you will study scripture, learn how to make moral decisions, be introduced to philosophy and theology, study art and architecture, and more. Additionally you will pray frequently, attend Mass regularly, go on retreat yearly, and give of your time serving others. Jesus is the reason for our school. It's not just something nice to put on the wall at our entrance, but truly something that shapes and informs everything we do at Aquinas. Here, you will encounter God in some powerful ways; it is our hope that you will respond and allow Him to lead you throughout the rest of your life.
Annual Retreats Service opportunities include 4 Works of Mercy & school-wide day of service.
4 Years of religion studying scripture, morality, theology, philosophy, wisdom literature, Christian art & architecture
