Special Announcements

There is a need to remind parishioners once again about emails and/or texts being sent purporting to be from Pastor Fr. John Lyons. Neither he nor any other priests at St. Thomas, nor any member of the Parish staff will EVER send an email or text asking for 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 check 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.
