"We cannot all do great things, but we can ALL do little things with GREAT LOVE." St. Mother Teresa Recently our Middle School and High Discipleship Formation Program and Parish were recipients of a Kindness Award at the ninth annual Recipe for Success Event at South End Children's Café! Since 2016 we have been members of the café's family hosting drives for needed items, volunteering to create Valentine Boxes and cards, and providing birthday supplies, goodies and gifts for the 40 children involved in the program. It was a wonderful event highlighting your kindness and your great love! Fr. Matt and our Discipleship Coordinators Jen Curry, and Rose Ann Garry attended, Mary Ann Hospodar Youth Minister & Outreach Coordinator accepted our award. Thank you, St. Thomas, for sharing His light and His love! Together we are doing things with great love!

Bishop Scharfenberger installed Fr. Matt as the Pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle on May 18, 2025. What an exciting time for the life of the parish and for Fr. Matt! To view photos of the liturgy and reception, click here.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Fr. Rick Lesser for his time, dedication, and service to the parishioners of St. Thomas the Apostle and the school community. Your presence and pastoral leadership have touched so many lives, and we are truly blessed to have had you as our pastor. As you continue with your ministry at Christ the King Church and St. Matthew’s, we keep you in our prayers, asking God to bless and guide you on this new chapter of your journey. May your work continue to inspire and uplift all those you serve. We also want to offer a special thank you to Fr. Charles for your support at St. Thomas. Your presence has been a true blessing to our community. God's blessings go with you to the north country! We will miss you, Fr. Rick, and we are excited to see how God will continue to work through you! Click here to see photos from Fr. Rick's last Mass at St. Thomas.
