Mother's Day Outreach Sponsored by the Columbiettes' St. Thomas Aquinas Council #10505
On Monday, May 13th the Columbiettes spent time sorting donated Mother's Day Outreach items for the two benefit organizations: Room at the Inn and Pregnancy Resource Center. It was unbelievable how much came in! From homemade blankets and quilts, the diapers and shampoo bottles, PJs and outfits to the furniture and baby monitors; just to mention a few of the many things that were brought in. And not to forget all the gift cards to Target and Walmart! Now to fit them into the cars for delivery on Tuesday - every space in the vehicles were filled with these items. Next stop off to the receivers! Thanks to the generosity of our St. Thomas Aquinas parishioners we have provided much to those in need! |

Global Day of Prayer In these troubling times in our world, it is more important than ever for Christians everywhere to turn to God in prayer. Beginning on Ascension Thursday, May 9, churches throughout the world will join together for ten consecutive days in repentance and prayer and to collaborate as God’s instruments for the blessing and healing of all nations. As part of this ecumenical effort, the parishioners of St. Thomas Aquinas are invited to join this ecumenical effort as we are asked to pray the daily prayer for the Global Day of Prayer each day. Prayer guides can be at www.gdopusa.org. On Pentecost Sunday, May 19, we are invited to join with other local churches to pray together on the Global Day of Prayer. We will gather at University Hills Baptist Church at 2:00 for a short service of prayer and music. Please come and join us as we pray for a transformation of hearts. You may contact Deacon Mark in the parish office with any questions.
