ENROLLMENT FORM

ST. THOMAS PRESCHOOL FAITH FORMATION

On January 1st, our Faith Formation Preschoolers performed in their annual Angel Mass! They sang songs, said their intercessions and the Three Kings brought up the gifts at Offertory. Each child brought a piece of fruit and placed it in a basket at the altar to be given to the seniors at Waterford Senior Living. As the Kings brought gifts to the Christ Child; our preschoolers brought gifts for our Seniors!
