St Thomas the Apostle will launch our own app for iPhone and Android smart phones. This will allow us to better communicate with you throughout the week and keep you updated with relevant parish news or updates. The app is very well designed and very intuitive. It will be a great resource for parishioners by providing daily Mass readings, Catholic news and prayers, convenient prayer and Confession reminders, our bulletins and more. We hope for our new app to be a tool for fostering stronger parish life at St Thomas the Apostle and better engaging the New Evangelization. There will be cards available next week at all the entrances to the church with the app download instructions. Also, there will be staff available in the Gathering Hall after all the Masses this weekend to answer any questions.
