ABOUT US

WE ARE A STEWARDSHIP PARISH an if you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering as a classroom aide in our Religious Education Program, we are still in need of a couple aides on Wednesday afternoons (4:45-6:00pm). It is a great way to participate in the parish's Stewardship Program. So think about it yourself, or ask an older sibling, grandparent, neighbor, etc.

WHAT OUR CATECHIST - KATHLEEN MINUTELLA SAID

Dear Friends of St. Thomas of Villanova Church
There is so much out there in our World today. It is almost
overwhelming.
HOW DO YOUR SHARE IT?
Our Faith teaches us that God created us, loves us and desires the best for us. Jesus freely laid down His life for us, suffered and died for and conquered even death.
What does this news mean to us.

IS THIS NEWS WORTH SHARING?
The Church gives us a resounding yes to that question and wants us to share the news.
We call it Evangelization..
That job belongs to our Priests, our Catholic Schools and especially to the Religious Education Programs..

Our Religious Education Director, TARA PENZA does an excellent job with her Teachers to plan and complete this mission. I was a previous Director at Presentation, Wynnewood until we moved to Newtown Square.

I was so blessed to work with Tara teaching Fourth Grade at St. Thomas I can't tell you how much joy I experienced teaching the students until my health gave way and I was not able to continue each week. I truly loved the children and miss them. It became unfair for me to continue teaching and missing classes.

However the purpose for me to express these feelings is to encourage other Parishioners to become involved in teaching these classes if possible. It is truly a rewarding experience filled with absolute "JOY"
