Half-Day (Student Event)
St. Thomas Aquinas Academy
On Holy Thursday, STA students will commemorate Christ’s Passion with an interactive reading of the Passion from the Gospel of Matthew. Key moments in the narrative will be highlighted with activities and simple foods connected to the story, helping students enter more deeply into the events of the Passion. Through thoughtful conversations with their peers, guided by teachers, students will reflect on the meaning of these events. This special experience will help prepare our students prayerfully and thoughtfully for the sorrow of Good Friday while looking ahead with hope to the glory of Easter Sunday.
