We Need the Parents!!!!
It is now time to begin preparations for next year's religious education program. Registration materials for classes, which will begin in September, were distributed during your child's last class. It is important that families return these forms ASAP so that we can make plans for the number of classes and teachers we will need in September. If you are interested in serving the parish as a teacher or class room assistant, please contact Tammy Halle at reled.sta@charterinternet.com or call 860-429-6436, ext. 207.

Learn More About Focus
Founded in 1998, FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, is a national (currently serving 45 campuses in the United States) campus outreach that meets college students where they are and invites them to examine the meaning and purpose of their lives. Through large group outreach, small group Bible studies and one-on-one mentoring, FOCUS staff is equipped to introduce college students to the Person of Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith, empowering them to share His love with the world. And that’s just what the FOCUS team of Chris True, Anne Marie Quiroz, Jacob Pride, and Angel Zamary has been working at here at UConn: bringing students into a relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer and the sacraments. This is their first year on campus here in Storrs, after being invited and contracted by Bishop Cote to serve the students of UConn through St. Thomas Aquinas Church. FOCUS staff personally fundraise 100% of their salaries and the costs to have a team on campus are covered in a contract with the diocese, so what the team brings to St. Thomas Aquinas are their evangelical zeal for souls and a witness of hope to their mission territory! In Him, your FOCUS missionaries.
