Sunday Hospitality Begins This Weekend

Please join other parishioners after Masses for Sunday Hospitality. Make a name tag and new friends! Get your favorite donut or some fruit and talk with Father Stephen while he enjoys his cake donut with white frosting and sprinkles (his favorite). We have many new members; let’s make them feel welcome at our Saint Thomas community.

A Century of Blessings

For the next 7 weeks we will be counting down to our 100th Anniversary Mass celebration on October 18 by listing our SAINT THOMAS blessings.

T – Thanksgiving Community Dinners – The first Thanksgiving dinner at Saint Thomas is held in 1992. This ministry continues to thrive and to serve the community and the parish with a bountiful feast of good food and conversation thanks to the dedicated chairpersons, cooks, servers, greeters, dishwashers and many others who make this gathering happen each year.
