Seasonal Drives

In the true sense of sharing our many blessings with others, St. Thomas the Apostle Parish annually provides Thanksgiving dinner to over 150 needy families (approximately 750 people) from the Parishes of Holy Family, Our Lady Queen of All Saints, St. Christopher, St. Kateri Tekawitha and St. Margaret.

The 2022 drive was successfully concluded. 2023 details will be published just in time.

Each Christmas season, St. Thomas the Apostle Parish parishioners share generously with the needy families of our “adopted” Tucson parishes.

Giving Trees are located in the back of the church. The trees are decorated with ornaments providing information on the needs of the person you may wish to help.

2022 Christmas Giving Tree Details

Each Lent, the St. Thomas the Apostle Life Teen Group traditionally sponsors its "Cross of Life" program in support of Reachout Women's Center, a non-profit pregnancy counseling center dedicated to helping pregnant women and new mothers in need.

A Cross of Life is staged in the Church narthex for three weeks. Parishioners take a little cross with suggested items in constant need and return the item with the cross attached.

There are also self-addressed envelopes that may be used for monetary donations. These monies will be used for purchases of necessary items. Checks should be made payable to REACHOUT and placed in the collection basket or in the poor boxes in the Narthex. 

Everyone is precious and needs love. In a merciful way, vulnerable newborn babies and mothers need people to reach out fo them; they need the hope that love alone provides.
