St. Thomas

Question: Father, what will happen to us now that this church is closing?
Answer:    Well, it means we will be gathering somewhere else to pray. With any change, things are always a bit confusing and frightening at first, but then people adapt. Think about that first day in high school or college, when you moved to a new town, when you began that job, or how you had to join a new family when you were getting married. Some of those may have been fairly smooth; some may have been traumatic; some may have taken time to learn to find the way to go. Changes can be difficult, but they are not impossible. We will be joining with our brothers and sisters from the other parishes. The next year or two will be filled will all sorts of new issues and challenges. It may be a bit of a bumpy go at first, but we need to remember we are all one family in Christ, children of the same loving Heavenly Father. You can look at the schedule of Masses on page 7 of this bulletin and determine which time and place will work for you. For this year, you will remain a parishioner of St. Thomas Parish. Your envelopes and online giving will come here. Your sponsors form will come from here and your sacramental records remain here. You do not need to reregister. Don’t be afraid. We will still be together and we will get through all of this together.
