Pastoral Welcome
The parish family of St. Thomas Aquinas welcomes you! Whether you have come here by yourself or with your family, please know that this parish family longs for you to be a part of us. As our Lord Jesus said to His first followers, come and see.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church instructs us that the Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. Indeed, all of the sacraments, along with the various ministries of the Church, and all of our apostolic outreach activities are bound up with the celebration of the Eucharist. Before you decide on which of the local parishes you will call your home parish, we hope that you will come and take part in a Sunday celebration of Mass with us. The celebration of the Eucharist, especially on the Lord's Day, is the heart of this parish.
Our parish is a wonderfully vibrant center of Christian life. Many of our parishioners develop relationships outside the Sunday celebrations in the many corporal and spiritual works of mercy and in small faith communities (where faith and support are shared). We have an active Life-Teen program for our teens and a growing young adult ministry. There are Christ-centered programs for all ages and all interests. We though many are one body in Christ. Come and see!
When you register you will receive our newcomer packet which contains and overview of the various activities of our parish. The family of St. Thomas Aquinas rejoices in your faith, and hopes that you will join us in proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ within the rich tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.
Please know that we are here to assist you in any way. Please give call if you have any questions about the life of this parish. Our patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, taught that joy is the noblest human act. May the giver of all gifts grant you joy in the Lord! We hope to welcome you into this family of faith.
