2021 Vacation Bible School
For those who have inquired as to whether St. Thomas the Apostle will host a 2021 Vacation Bible School, sadly the answer is 'no.' Let us pray for a robust return to this traditional offering in 2022.
Food Drive Weekend
This coming weekend the parish collects nonperishable food and/or monetary donations to benefit the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. Items most needed are:
- canned meat and tuna
- dry cereal, flour, instant potatoes
- canned vegetables, fruit, soup
- pasta, macaroni & cheese, rice, beans
- powdered milk & infant formula
- peanut butter & jelly
No fresh produce, bread, rolls or any baked items can be accepted. We can no longer accept glass jars.
Specially marked barrels will be located at the entrances to the church to receive your donations.
If you wish to contribute by way of a check, please make it payable to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona and drop it in the Poor Boxes in the narthex or in the collection basket. Do not drop checks in the food barrels.
Thank you!
Do You Remember?
Nearly one year ago, signs were posted throughout the church grounds urging caution: watch out for snakes.
On 2021 Holy Thursday afternoon we were reminded this was not an idle warning! This rather sizable critter was spied making its way from O'Leary Hall toward the church.
Once again 'tis the season!
