St. Thomas Aquinas President Paul Marquis Announces Building on Faith Capital Campaign
Dear Friends of St. Thomas Aquinas,
I am thrilled to announce the Building on Faith Capital Campaign, the largest capital improvement project in STA’s 60-year history. This campaign strengthens our Catholic faith, which has been at the heart of our school since opening in 1960. Our faith has kept us focused on our mission and has guided our students on their academic, social, and spiritual journeys.
Over the past five years, STA has made significant campus upgrades, including a new stadium, safety enhancements, and renovations to 80,000 square feet of academic space. We have also made renovations to our gymnasium, including central air conditioning, new bleachers, a state of the art sound system, and a new mezzanine space for music students.
Now, we are focused on building the heart of our school: a new full-sized chapel named after St. Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint and patron saint of the internet, canonized on September 7, 2025. This project also includes a new school entrance, campus ministry center, student flex space, and administrative offices.
Thanks to a $2.5 million challenge match, every gift will be matched–dollar for dollar–up to $2.5 million, providing the funding to complete the project.
We invite you to join us in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a space that honors God and unites our whole school community.
In peace,
Paul Marquis, P’23, ’25
President
