We are a vibrant and growing parish just outside Albany, rooted in the faith and witness of St. Thomas the Apostle. Like our patron, we seek to deepen our belief in Christ, encountering Him in the Eucharist, Sacred Scripture, and the life of our community. Whether you are new to the area, returning to the Church, or searching for a spiritual home, we welcome you with open hearts and invite you to walk this journey of faith with us.
At the heart of our parish life is the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, where we come together in worship, offering our prayers and receiving Christ’s presence. Daily and Sunday Masses, Eucharistic Adoration, and communal prayer opportunities help us grow closer to God and strengthen our faith. The sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Reconciliation, sustain us as we strive to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Faith at St. Thomas is not only something we celebrate—it is something we live and share. Our PreK-8 Catholic school provides children with a strong academic and spiritual foundation, forming them in faith, knowledge, and service. Beyond the school, we offer many opportunities for all ages to grow in faith through youth ministry, young adult gatherings, Bible studies, retreats, service projects, and faith-sharing groups. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, there is a place for you here.
There are countless ways to get involved in our parish, whether through liturgical ministries, music, outreach programs, faith formation, or community-building events. We encourage you to explore the many ways you can pray, serve, and belong at St. Thomas.
We look forward to welcoming you in person—whether at Mass, a parish event, or a ministry gathering. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our community, please reach out. May God bless you, and may St. Thomas the Apostle intercede for you as we continue to grow together in faith.
Peace to you, Fr. Matthew Duclos Pastor, St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church
