August Update

08-09-2020Pastor's Letter

It has been so good to see you back at Mass. At this time we still have a restriction of 100 people at each Mass. so if you have been thinking about coming back, but have not done so yet ... PLEASE DO! You may reserve your spot on our parish website. It you are not comfortable with reserving online, please call the parish office and we can do it for you.

I know some of you are hesitant to return, but please know we have taken every precaution possible to protect all our parishioners ... from requiring everyone to wear masks, to hand sanitizer, to social distancing in pews, to limiting the amount of singing, to distributing Holy Communion as you leave Mass a pew at a time, to disinfecting the entire church after every Mass.

It IS safe to come back and we would love to see you!

With the suspension of public Masses in March, to the slow reopening process, we continue to experience a large deficit in our weekly income that St. Thomas needs in order to carry on its mission of proclaiming the Gospel and meeting the spiritual needs of our parishioners and caring for our build- ings and grounds. We are all facing difficult times, but please remember your parish as well. For your convenience, consid- er joining many of your fellow parishioners who already participate in electronic giving. (Please go to the following link to sign up for electronic giving.) myowngiving.com/default.aspx?cid=1381

If electronic giving is not an option for you, please continue your regular support of the parish by dropping off your week- ly contributions to the parish office or sending them through the mail. (we have also set up a GoFundMe page, gf.me/u/xr8whh.

Know of our daily prayers for you all and THANK YOU for your assistance, and for your much needed continued support of the parish.
