WE DID IT!! Thank you St. Thomas parishioners for your dedication to the rosary! Our community said over 5000 rosaries this month as a part of the October Rosary Challenge.. If you haven't reported your rosaries, please do so by Thursday so we can give the community an accurate final count this weekend. If you have a special testimonial about your experience with the challenge this year, we encourage you to share it with the church office. Thank you all again!! We did this together, as a community! The prayers will surely bear much fruit.
