Family Intercessory Hour
On the first Friday of every month from September through June, following 8:30am morning Mass at St. Thomas, all are invited to join Family Intercessory Hour.
​
The group will have some social time, coffee and rolls, and a short talk from Fr. Jenson in the church's lower level. Then, the group will go into the church for a half-hour of Eucharistic Adoration to intercede for our loved ones and those who have fallen away.
​
You are invited to dedicate yourselves to being the source of spiritual energy for your kids and families. They need you to commit yourself to seeking God's loving power for them and their families. Come and find out how much you can do to bring your kids and family into God's love!
First Saturday Devotion
First Saturday Devotions are a powerful means for our parish and families to grow in holiness. In our respective apostolic work, we have the First Saturday Devotion at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. There are Confessions from 7:30am-8:15am. The Rosary starts at 7:50am before Mass at 8:30am. All are invited to join in this beautiful devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Mass will be in the Novus Ordo (new order) English form with some Latin inserted at parts.
​
The Blessed Virgin Mary told Sr. Lucia at Fatima, "I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me."

Rosary Ministry
The Blessed Virgin Rosary Ministry (BVRM) consists of people dedicated to praying a “decade a day.” Each member is assigned a specific decade to pray each day. Members offer up the decade for the Rosary Ministry members, their families, and for the special monthly intention. The time commitment is short and is a wonderful way of joining others in prayer. To participate, sign up here.
Prayer Chain + Requests
Add prayer requests to the Prayer Chain. The Prayer Chain is composed of parishioners dedicated to praying for others. To submit a prayer request or to join the Prayer Chain, please contact the Parish Office.
