The services are open to the public, but your prayers can be fulfilled with a bought on your knees your lighting a candle anytime you need. The church keeps its doors open to the public during business type hours for public use. A small candle donation is not required but appreciated. The Catholic population of Reno was vast in the early years with no place of worship or fellowship. The cornerstone of the church was laid in 1906. In June of 1908 the cathedral was dedicated. All worship services were in full swing, but a fire destroyed the roof in 1909. It was rebuilt and rededicated in 1910 where it still stands tall for all to come. The first Bishop of Reno, Thomas Kiely Gorman was set as the Diocese of Reno. Through the years many restorations have taken place to retro fit the foundation. In the 1950s a wrap around mural surrounding the alter was installed. A one of a kind mural painted by Edith and Isabel Piczek, is considered "to be one of the finest works of its kind in America." The theme of the mural depicts "Adoration of the Lamb of God, our Lord in the Blessed Eucharist." The message of the mural depicts how important the modern family should accept sacrament for communion for their lives and the community. The murals presents images of "Saints from the Old Law," Abel, Moses, Ruth, Abraham, and Isaac in all their glory. Depictions of John the Baptist and the Lamb of God are presented in all majesty. The call of angels is a truth of faith in Catholic teachings. The door of St Thomas is adorned in all copper with two angels on either side. We dwell in constant companies of angels keeping us safe. It is interesting that the Saint Aquinas, related discussions of angels to location. This saint discusses: "could an angel be a non physical being said to occupy space?" The realm of the angels these days and the early thoughts from Aquinas have led to much of the mechanics of quantum physics. It's a mighty majesty to place angels and you can ponder their glory in an Aquinas dedication to his reverence. As the large copper doors are open to all. Come in and find yourself. Talk to the maker. Use the services to help yourself and those around you. May your faith be strong no matter what you believe or follow. Happiness is yours just listen and accept the blessings that surround you. Amen! May grace, serenity and peace be yours always!

The staff is kind, caring, and has a genuine love for the children and parents that you don't see often. The communication is never lacking and if there is an issue, the full staff is there supporting you through it. We love it so much I didn't even attempt to put my second child in day care until she was ready for Summit. Imagine taking your child to a preschool where they are willing to work on the same things you are working on at home, whatever that may be, listening, sharing, telling the truth, good bathroom habits, you name it and the team will help you. I can't wait to see what this amazing team does with the nursery they are opening. I'm so thankful families will have the opportunity to start their kiddos there at an early age. Thank you Summit Team for everything you do!

Stay away from this so-called academy if you are homeschooling your children.

They want you to either contact them online --- to which they NEVER respond or you have to call and make an 'appointment' to talk to someone. IF one of the two women working in this tiny office calls you back, they do so from home with the dog barking in the background! They are in a tiny office suite yet the receptionist claims to not even know how many 'academic advisors they have working there! (ONE) . Unfortunately, we enrolled our son there for 9th grade thinking they would work with us to keep records and a transcript. He's completed all of his 9th grade work they gave us and he even accelerated in a couple of subjects and finished the entire year in 1/2 year but they said they can only count that as 1/2 years worth of work! It was the entire years curriculum for the subject completed in 1/2 the time -- most schools call that an AP or honors class! The worse part is spending thousands of dollars, we still have no transcripts! They keep saying that they need more work samples or they misplaced what we gave them or they need more details about phys ed class! We've sent 51 pages of work samples, tests etc. and we haven't heard back from them in MONTHS -- except when we get a bill saying we owe another $8 for the per-page charge when you upload your documents on their website! They will give you a curricula alright -- but after that, good luck getting them to respond or ever getting your transcript. I'll be sure to let everyone know how this tiny, unprofessional organization works. I am now spending more money on a lawyer who is contacting them to either get every penny back or get a transcript that I paid for..
