Today we are thanking God for YOU! Our wonderful parishioners make this a community that radiates the joy of the Lord. Our prayers are with you.
Do a little pre-planning for Thanksgiving and let us know what you're thankful for today!
Continue to pray for the souls in purgatory.
Also, consider how you can prepare yourself for purgatory. As Fr. Logan preached this past weekend, purgatory gives us the "time" we need to become ready to be with our Lord. This is a blessing, a gift, to us! Check out his purgatory series, and all of his homilies, on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/logan-parrish-659152292.

Father announced a new weekday Mass schedule starting the week of August 13th. This schedule was made in response to the information you have been providing on the blue info sheets that were filled out after Masses combined with what people have been telling him in one on one meetings. He's also adding confession times each weekday a half hour before Mass.
Calling all altar servers!! All new and returning altar servers, please join us for training TONIGHT! This ministry is open to new and returning Religious Education and St. Thomas School Students who are rising 5th - 12th graders and have received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion.
