Dear Faithful Parishioners of St. Thomas of Canterbury,
Happy & Blessed New Year 2021!
Thank you very much for having journeyed with us as a family community through the past year 2020 with your continued and generous support. We are very grateful. Thank you for sustaining one another.
Although we could not all be present physically inside the church for Christmas Mass this year, we had very good participation - almost 900 people - for outdoors, in-car and online (Youtube.com/StThomasSJ and Facebook.com/STCSJ). Thank you and thanks to our choirs (Anne, Youth and Men's) and our many caring volunteers for all three beautiful celebrations.

Thank you for your generous support with the Christmas Collections of $11,679 (as of 12/31/20) and the over-the-goal ADA refunds/contributions of $6,485.00 (as of 11/30/20).
Thank you also for joining hands in support of those in need through our Christmas Outreach programs both within and outside of our community with a total of $13,121.64. These have been given to 12 families in our parish and also the agencies who directly helped distribute our gifts to the homeless in San Jose. More information on this process is described below.
May God bless our community this New Year 2021 with his ever overflowing blessings as always.
A friendly reminder that our Saturday Masses are now at 3pm due to the weather.
With prayers,
Fr. Andrew
