Announcing the St. Thomas Ministry Grant for High School Senior and Eighth Graders!

What is it? The St. Thomas Ministry Grant is a five hundred dollar bond that will be awarded to one eighth grader and one high school senior for service to the parish.

Who is eligible? Any eighth grade student or high school senior who has given service to the parish through any of our ministries can apply for this award.

How do you apply? Call the rectory for an application form or e-mail Sister Celeste, celestemssj@Msn.com.

When will the 2 grants be awarded? A special Graduation Mass for all graduates will be celebrated on June 13th, 9:30am. The awards will be announced during the Mass.

Why did we establish this award? We established this grant as a way to honor and support families whose children are actively involved in the life of this Church. Our hope is to encourage future participation for our younger members.

Electronic Giving

St Thomas the Apostle Parish is providing Electronic Giving, or eGiving, as a simple, secure and convenient method for making contributions. The eGiving option is being used by churches throughout the country and works similar to online bill paying.

eGiving is when parishioners authorize their designated church contribution to be extracted from their bank account or credit card and deposited into the St. Thomas account. There is no fee for parishioners who choose this method and St. Thomas Parish receives contributions even when the members are on vacation or away. Regular weekly and monthly reports are sent to the parish for accurate donor records and all banks and all credit cards are accepted.

You can sign up for eGiving by clicking on the link below. You will be directed to a secure web site where you will be asked to create an account and fill out a form. Once the completed form is submitted you will receive a welcome email. You may then log in to your account any time you wish and make changes as you see fit. You are in control of your eGiving account!
