Special Announcements

A scam is going around that purports to be an email from Fr. John asking for gift cards or personal information. No one on St. Thomas the Apostle's staff would ever ask for money - in any form - to be sent directly to them by email or text.

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. 

If you receive any communcation that implies otherwise, please call the office immediately.
