As the Body of Christ in Woodley Park, members of St. Thomas Apostle have been given the gifts and practical resources to be a sign of the Lord’s providence and new life in the local community.
Gifts to the Church
Please consider using Parish Giving for your weekly or monthly offertory to St. Thomas. Some of the benefits using Parish Giving include better record-keeping for tax deductions, the option to make an offertory through a credit card (which once may also receive frequent flier or reward points), and to reduce administrative burden on St. Thomas volunteers and staff. For more information, contact the Rectory or go to Parish Giving to sign-up!
O Lord and my God, take from me everything that distances me from you. My Lord and my God, give me everything that brings me closer to you. My Lord and my God, detach me from myself to give my all to you.
-St. Nicholas of Flue (1417-1487)
“We are in the time of action-the time in which to put to use the gifts of God not for ourselves, but for Him, for the Church, for others, the time during which always to try to increase the good in the world....It is important not to close in upon oneself, burying one's talent, one’s own spiritual, intellectual, material riches, everything that the Lord has given us, but to open oneself, to be in solidarity, to be attentive to the other.”
Pope Francis
