WELCOME TO AQUINAS MINISTRY

Don't miss out on our exciting, life-changing, Jesus-centered ministries this year!

Youth ministry events are never restricted and new teens are always welcome to attend; however registering your child keeps you in the loop regarding important dates and events and provides you early access to our popular semester retreats.

We can’t wait to serve you this ministry year.


OUR MISSION

TO LEAD ALL PEOPLE INTO AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST THROUGH TRUTH, GOODNESS, & BEAUTY.

St. Thomas Aquinas has a long history as a mission church in the West Valley of the Diocese of Phoenix. We haven't lost that missionary spirit and we approach youth & family ministry as the crucial mission field right in our own backyard.

Through our offerings of Life Teen (High School Youth Ministry), EDGE (Middle School Youth Ministry), and Chosen (6th - 12th grade Sacrament Preparation) we live to serve the youth community and empower families to become more firmly rooted in the Truths of the Bride of Christ, the Catholic Church.


OUR YEARLY THEME

Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist.

This year, we dive into a deeper revival of our understanding of the bread of life and the Real Presence within.


 
 

What would our world look like if more of our youth knew, loved, and served Jesus Christ in their lives? Every year, here at Aquinas, hundreds of children & teens go through our religious education, sacramental preparation, and youth ministry programs. Through the generosity of our parishioners’ tithing, we are able to keep costs low while providing the highest-quality materials, events, retreats, conferences, and more! However, some of our families require partial or full scholarship assistance for their children.

The Shareholder Project allows you to sponsor scholarship(s) and directly bless one (or more) of our parish families. You quite literally become a Shareholder investing in the spiritual life of our youth! Please prayerfully discern if you are able to share your financial blessings with a young person in our community as they seek a deeper relationship with the God that has blessed us all so abundantly.

You can donate to the Shareholder Project via PushPay (via the button below). As an added bonus, your donations are tax deductible!
