Welcome to St. Thomas the Apostle Parish!

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have been a parishioner for years, I want to extend a warm welcome to you. My name is Fr. Stephen Durkee, and I’m so grateful to serve as pastor of this beautiful, faith-filled community.

Here at St. Thomas the Apostle, our mission is to provide a spiritual home for all God’s family and nurture one another through the sacraments and the principles of Catholic faith. We hope to be a place where every person can encounter the Risen Jesus, experience authentic community and friendship, and grow in faith through the sacraments.

Our Parish is made up of nearly 650 families and more than 2,500 individuals, spanning every age and season of life. That’s more than just numbers, it’s a sign of the life, energy, and love that fills this parish.

Our Patron, St. Thomas the Apostle, reminds us that even our doubts can become doorways to deeper faith. His wounds of disbelief were transformed by the mercy of the Risen Christ, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). That’s my prayer for each of you: that you would meet the Risen Jesus here, just as Thomas did, and allow Him to transform your own wounds with His mercy and love. Jesus, at the Last Supper, loved His disciples “to the end” (John 13:1), and we love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). Everything we do here, whether it’s worship, formation, service, or just sharing life together, is meant to be rooted in that love.

I hope you’ll find in this parish a place you can call home. A place to laugh, to pray, to grow, and to belong. And most of all, a place to fall more deeply in love with Jesus Christ.

Welcome home.
Fr. Stephen Durkee
