Health Care Reform
Please contact your Congressperson and US Senators and urge them to to vote against any proposed health care reforms that do not protect the right to life of the most vulnerable, including the unborn, and that do not preserve our freedom of conscience. For more information, please go the the website of the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) at www.usccb.org/healthcare.

We will have a new Mass translation, probably by the Fall of 2011. Like to know more about it? Check out this web site from the US bishops: http://www.usccb.org/romanmissal/

Baptism
Baptisms are usually at 11:15am on the third Sunday of the month. Call the church office to pre-register. Parents are asked to make an appointment with Fr. Rudolph for preparation. In choosing godparents, please keep in mind that according to Church law, a godparent must be a confirmed Catholic, and that there is to be only one male godparent or one female godparent or one of each.
Marriage
Arrangements for all marriages should begin at least nine months in advance. Pre-marriage instruction is required. Normally at least one of the persons intending marriage should be a member of St. Thomas church, or else have a close relative who is. To help people better prepare for this wonderful sacrament, couples who are living together will normally be asked to move apart. Exceptions may be made for special circumstances.
