Season of Creation From September 1 to October 4
In this Season of Creation, Pope Francis calls us to pray, to acknowledge and embrace our role as recipients of God’s gift of creation as well as caretakers of this universe. This year’s theme: A HOME FOR ALL: Renewing the Oikos of God (Oikos is Greek for home or household.) underscores our duty to act as caretakers of “the integral web of relationships that sustain the well-being of the Earth.”
Abraham’s Tent, Serves As A Symbolic Reminder Of The Hospitality he showed to strangers as recounted in Genesis 18 and a reminder that we are to extend that same hospitality to all we know and those we do not around this world, protecting and sharing justly God’s creation; living “our commitment to safeguard a place for all who share our common home.”
Season of Creation Calendar Of Activities: If you didn’t pick up your calendar last week, you can find one on the St. Thomas website, with the Season of Creation Prayer.

St. Thomas Reads! ~ We are excited to announce the launch of the St. Thomas Book Club! We will meet every other month and discuss books that are connected to our faith. The October selection, The Story of a Soul, in honor of the Feast Day of St. Thérèse De Lisieux, is widely available at most bookstores. We will meet on October 14 at 7 p.m. in the Gathering Hall to discuss the book. Here is an overview of The Story of a Soul: Two and a half years before her death in 1897 at the age of 24, as Thérèse Martin began writing down her childhood memories at the request of her blood sisters in the Lisieux Carmel, few could have guessed the eventual outcome. Yet this Story of my soul, first published in 1898 in a highly edited version, quickly became a modern spiritual classic, read by millions and translated into dozens of languages around the world. We hope that you are as excited about this adventure as we are and we hope to see you on October 14!Read More -
