Interested in becoming Catholic?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has handed them on and put these teachings into practice by living as part of the Catholic community, serving others and praying. RCIA is for three groups of people:- Those who have never been baptized in any faith,
- People who were baptized in another Christian faith, and
- Baptized Catholics who have never received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
For more information please speak to a priest after Mass or call the parish office. We would love to help you on your journey to a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church. -

A Welcome From Our Pastor ~ Reverend Kenneth J. Tatro
Hello and Welcome:
On behalf of our entire parish family, I thank you for visiting our website.
Our parish community here at St. Thomas is a large and friendly gathering of God's holy people, who individually and collectively, strive to better our relationship with God and one another. Our central prayer of the Eucharist, which is the "source and summit" of our Christian way of life, gives us the nourishment and courage we need to listen and act on God's Holy Word in the every day circumstances of our lives.
We invite you to join us on this journey of faith and life. Please know that each member of our parish staff is willing to assist you. If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call.
Once again, welcome to our parish and may God bless you.

A Poetic Prayer to St. Thomas
These things did Thomas hold for real:
the warmth of blood, the chill of steel,
the grain of wood, the heft of stone,
the last frail twitch of blood and bone.His brittle certainties denied
that one could live when one had died,
until his fingers read like Braille
the markings of the spear and nail.May we, O God, by grace believe
and, in believing, still receive
the Christ who held His raw palms out
and beckoned Thomas from his doubt.
