Religious Education and Parish
What's happening in Religious Education and our Parish life
St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Primary School
Thanks to Ephesus for a lovely mass this week.
Growing in Faith and Understanding Together
At St Thomas the Apostle, our teachers and staff regularly take part in faith formation. This is an important part of working in a Catholic school. It gives us opportunities to deepen our understanding of the Catholic faith, its rich traditions and what these mean for us in the world today.
This week, our staff explored how roles within the Church have changed over time, from the early Christian communities, through the time before Vatican II, to the Church we know today.
Through discussion, reflection and learning together, we continue to grow in our own understanding so that we can better support our children to ask questions, explore their faith and understand the Church and their place within it.
We thought you might enjoy a little taste of the learning our staff engaged in this week. The visual below shares some of the key ideas we explored.
When we continue to learn and grow as educators, we are better equipped to guide our children on their own journey of faith.
