St. Thomas More Parish Religious Education Program serves grades K-8. Classes are held weekly from September-April. Fantastic, faith-filled volunteer catechists and catechist assistants lead the students on their journey to grow in Catholic faith through prayer and service, as well as through the Finding God (Loyola Press) textbook series. Grades 6-8 use the Connect Series from St. Mary's Press. Please prayerfully consider helping our youth grow in their faith by volunteering to be a catechist, team catechist, catechist assistant, or a substitute.  There are opportunities available at each grade level (K – 8^th grade) and stipends are available.  All of our volunteers must complete a background check and online Safe Environment Training.
