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. |

Join the St. Thomas Choir!
Music is a vital and essential part of our devotion and identity as members of our beautiful parish, and serving in music ministry is an excellent way to make a profound impact on the spiritual life of our community. The St. Thomas Choir is looking for parish members who are interested in serving the parish as music ministers, who possess a solid singing voice, and who approach ministry and music-making with optimism and openness. If interested, please contact our Organist/Choirmaster, Jeffrey Parola, or speak to him after High Mass.

Interested in becoming a member of St. Thomas or in reinvigorating your knowledge of our faith and worship? It's time to start thinking about joining this year's Catechumen Class. This course, which meets every Saturday, beginning after Labor Day and running right up to the Great Easter Vigil, is required for anybody who wishes to be Baptized, Confirmed, or Received in the Church. It's also open to a limited number of current Parishioners who are interested in learning more and Reaffirming their commitment to Christ. Interested parties should contact the Parish Office to schedule a meeting with Canon Davies in the coming weeks.
