St. Thomas the Apostle Church

Now that we are open for Mass ~ We have been so happy to see all of you at Mass over the first three weekends..  And, as more of you become comfortable with the idea, we look forward to seeing you too!  If you plan to attend, please be sure to review the letter which Father Berberian sent to all parishioners.  It is also posted on our website, www.stthomas-church.org.  This letter gives the specifics as to what you will need to do to attend.  Please remember:  wear a mask (must  cover both nose and mouth), bring your hand sanitizer. and remember to be here 30 minutes prior to the start of Mass. For those of you not yet able to attend the dispensation from attending Mass continues, so you may always watc Centerh Masses "livestreamed" by going to the Diocesan website:  www.rcda.org  

 Volunteers for Mass ~ We continue to need volunteers for Mass to serve as Greeters, Ushers and Cleaners. Initially we have just enough volunteers to cover a few weekends.  But to continue to offer two Masses, we need more people to help out, if they are able, to ensure the same people are not asked to serve too frequently. Given the limited number of Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers needed for the immediate future, we have enough at this time, however those of you who have not responded should contact Pat Holm in the parish office if you want to be added to those lists.  

 
Three Important Documents to Read before attending Mass ~ July 23, 2020 ~  St.Thomas the Apostle has resumed weekend Masses with a Saturday Mass at 5 PM and a Sunday Mass at 10 AM. We have three important documents for you to read before attending. Please read Father Berberian's letter (Dear Parishioners)  in its entirety. It contains instructions for the protocol to follow before during and after Mass. Also, read Check List which is a self-assessment health form. You can only attend if you answer "No" to every question. Finally read Cleaner which contains instructions for using the church cleaner.All three documents can be found in the Documents section on the Home Page below the FACEBOOK stream.

I just want to let you know how happy I am that Bishop Scharfenberger appointed me to be the pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle parish. The times I have been there for Masses since the appointment has brought back many good memories and some useful insights. I am very grateful to Father Leskovar for his willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty during this transition time. I also appreciate the help and support of the Trustees and parish staff in pointing me in the right direction.
