“SPREADING THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL” -- 2018-19 BISHOP’S APPEAL ~ During May and June we are focusing on our 2018-19 Bishop’s Appeal. Last weekend we conducted the in-pew collection after the homily at all the Masses. Our goal this year is $199,166 , which is 3% less than last year’s assessment. To date we have received 91 gifts and pledges, a total of $39,137 toward our goal. Thank you in advance for your generous support.
 
SAVE THE DATE ~ On May 18, Father Leskovar will celebrate the 50 ^th anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood. Father will preside at the 11:00 Mass on May 20 (Pentecost Sunday) to mark this milestone. Hospitality will follow in the Gathering Hall. All of us at St Thomas the Apostle congratulate Father Leskovar on this Golden Jubilee and are so grateful for his many years of dedicated priestly service to the parish. Ad multos annos!
 
CONGRATULATIONS go out to all those who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Friday. We are grateful to Elizabeth Kerins, Mary Ann Hospodar and their volunteer catechists who have worked with our young men and women to prepare them for the sacrament.
 
CONGRATULATIONS to the family of the following children who were baptized last Sunday at St. Thomas:​ Leland Anthony Davis and Everett Lawrence Davis.
