Special Announcements

Parishioners should always be leery of parish-related eMails and/or texts being sent purporting from Msgr. John Lyons. Neither he nor any other priests at St. Thomas the Apostle, nor any member of the Parish staff will EVER send an eMail or text requesting money, gift cards or suggesting the recipient click on any link. 

If any parishioner receives such an eMail or text that is anything other than merely informative, please call the office and verify before responding.

Money from parishioners should only be given in the offertory basket, our secure online giving website, by mail or handed directly to an office staffer. 

The Pima County Health Department is hoping to spread a little joy to people who can't be with their loved ones at this time and it's asking for some help from the community.

The health department recently launched the Pima Love Notes project to send positive and supportive cards, letters and messages to the residents and staff in longterm and assisted-living facilities who can't have visitors due to coronavirus safety measures. 

It's a thoughtful activity anyone can do and so needed during with so very many isolated Tucson residents.

The Catholic University of America is opening a branch campus this fall in Tucson! This will be The Catholic University of America’s first offsite campus. The initial program offered is a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management. Partnering with Pima Community College, local employers, and community organizations, students will be given a personalized and supportive faith environment for post-secondary learners in Tucson.

The Catholic University - Tucson has been able to set initial tuition for the program at a level far less than annual, in-state tuition at any of the prominent four-year public universities in Arizona, thus helping ensure that all students are able to share in the benefits that come from earning a traditional four-year degree from the prestigious Catholic University of America right here in Tucson. Refer any prospective student and family to Keiran Roche 520-314 5080 or rochek@cua.edu or direct to website: catholic.edu/tucson

Ps. FOURTEEN trailblazing students from Tucson are part of this new offering.
