Welcome to St. Thomas Aquinas

Mission Statement We, the Roman Catholic family of  St. Thomas Aquinas, formed by Word and Sacrament, are a welcoming, Eucharist-centered, and culturally diverse faith community.  Together, we answer our baptismal calling to worship God, grow in holiness, and share our faith in Christ by loving and serving others.

Sacred Heart Mission Begins Sunday

Dear Parish Family,

I invite you to attend a special parish mission designed to strengthen the sanctity of family life. From May 20th to 23rd, 7:00pm, in the Church, we are having a Sacred Heart Mission, “BRING THE FIRE HOME,” for all members of our parish family.  A reception will follow in the hall on Sunday and Wednesday. 

Fr. William Gaffney and Mrs. Gloria Anson will be our speakers. They have conducted these missions throughout North America.  As a result, many families have experienced a new faith and love in their homes and, united with other families, are “Building a Civilization of Love.” In light of society’s attacks on the sanctity of family life, we must open our hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, receiving His boundless mercy and love. We will learn how to bring Jesus’ joy, healing, and new life into our homes.  We will prepare for the enthronement of our church, which will take place on June 15th, the Feast of the Sacred Heart.

Our mission has been featured in the Catholic News & Herald!  Please pray the Mission Prayer daily. 

 Yours in Christ,
 fr. remo

5th Annual Multicultural Festival

Join us on a getaway that allows you to experience more than 25 countries without leaving the parish grounds at our 5th Annual Multicultural Festival, Saturday, May 26th, 11:00am-3:00pm! This day of fun and fellowship features music, entertainment, crafts for the kids, cultural artifacts, and a sampling of food from around the world. Drinks are provided by Coca-Cola. Tickets will be sold at the door: $5 for ages 13 and above (ages 12 and under are free!), with a special family rate of $15. You will be given a wrist band to wear during the festival.

The next day, Pentecost Sunday, we continue to celebrate our Catholic faith and diversity with a multicultural Mass at 11:30am. Music and liturgy will reflect the cultural heritage of parishioners who are invited to dress in their cultural attire.

Listen to Homilies On-Line

Visit our website each week to hear recordings of the Sunday homilies.  Nurture your soul as you listen to our priests and deacons as they reflect on the Word of God.  Hear a homily that you may have missed -- or listen again to one that you found particularly meaningful.  Past homilies can be found here.
 

On-Line Giving

Please consider participating in a new program designed to simplify weekly giving at St. Thomas Aquinas.  Electronic Giving will enable every household or individual to make their church offering using electronic funds transfer (EFT).  You may already be using EFT to pay your mortgage, car payment, insurance and utilities through an automatic withdrawal from your checking or savings account.

There is no cost to you for this new giving option.  If you are currently giving on a weekly basis, you will no longer need to write out 52 checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes.  And, when travel, illness or other circumstances prevent you from attending Mass at STA, this program will allow your weekly offerings to continue on an uninterrupted basis.

If you have questions and would like more information, contact Cheryl Eckert in the parish office.
