Greetings!
St. Thomas the Apostle is an Episcopal Parish in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. We are called by God to be a holy place where love is found, where all are named and where hearts are freed to change the world.
St. Thomas has a great respect for both the rich liturgical heritage of the church and for living the message of social justice proclaimed by Jesus Christ. Whether you are young or old, gay or straight, single, married or in a relationship, female or male, poor or wealthy, you are welcome at St. Thomas just as you are...a child of God and an inheritor of God's grace. |

St. Thomas Ministry Fair
 On Sunday, 19 May the annual St. Thomas Ministry Fair will be held in the Large Parish Hall after the High Mass. Tables with representatives and information about our various ministries and guilds will be placed throughout the Parish Hall. This will be an excellent opportunity to thank all of those who contribute so much to St. Thomas as well as an opportunity for Parishioners to contribute time and talents. Be sure to visit each of the groups' tables and have your card stamped for an opportunity of winning a small gift (cards will be available at the door off of the patio to the Parish Hall as you enter the Ministry Fair). |
