Grades 6 to 8
St. Thomas More provides an opportunity for Middle School students to grow in faith by developing a meaningful relationship with Jesus, a better understanding of our Catholic tradition, and help to plant roots for the adult years.
Classes meet Sunday, 6:30 - 8 p.m. Classes begin the week of September 17!
Middle School Home Study
Are you having difficulties scheduling Faith Formation classes? We offer a Home Study option for grades K-1 and 3-8. Please note that 8th gr Home Study does not fulfill the requirement for the first year of Confirmation prep. This is a great opportunity to work with your children at home and teach them about their Catholic faith. Please select the Home Study Registration button on the Faith Formation Registration page to register for this option. Once registered, please contact Andrea to make arrangements to pick up materials.
Older Student Sacrament Preparation (OSSP)
If your child is in 6th grade through 8th grade and has not received their sacraments (Baptism, Reconciliation, or Eucharist) please call Andrea Cochran at 512-258-1944 x228 or email andrea@stmaustin.org to discuss all details going forward. The students should be registered in regular Middle School classes.

Santa's Workshop
On Saturday, December 9, from 10:00am-1:00pm, the Middle School students of St. Thomas More are hosting their annual December service project. Santa's Workshop is for children ages 4-8 years old. Your little kiddo is paired with a middle schooler all day. We will have games, holiday crafts, a visit with Santa, snacks and a movie, plus lots of fun! There will also be a "Santa-shopping store" for the kiddos to buy gifts for their family members. (This is totally optional.) If your kiddo wants to shop, please send a list of who to buy for and some cash in an envelope with the kiddo's name on it. All gifts are from 25 cents - $6 and will be wrapped.
Check-in and pick-up are in Brennan Auditorium. Please send a sack lunch for your child, with their name on it.
