Returns September 8th

Children of the Parish in grades Kindergarten-Third are invited to participate in Children’s Liturgy of the Word which is held on Sundays during the 9:30 Mass. During the Mass we dismiss our children in grades Kindergarten-Third, along with their adult catechists, to take part in the Sunday Scripture at their level.

Terminology at the appropriate age level helps the children to understand and appreciate the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. In the past we have noted that children who attend Mass and participate in the Liturgy of the Word for Children have a more complete understanding of their Catholic education, and are more prepared for their celebration of the Sacraments. This is a required preparation for those receiving the Eucharist for the first time.

Monday, September 9th, Please come and join us and discover how the Holy Spirit is working in our parish and your life. 

Pope Benedict and Pope Francis called for a Eucharistic Revival in the Catholic Church. 

Come and join us to discover and deepen your relationship with the Holy Spirit.
THE WILD GOOSE is divided into 14 segment videos; 25 to 35 minutes long. 

Next episode will begin on Monday, September 9th from 6:30 to 8pm.
We will have a short group discussion after the video.
If you have any questions please contact Deacon Leon 419-206-2991 or send him an email.

Thursday, August 22, at 6:30 pm at St Thomas, please join us to pray for God’s protection over our Nation! This is the Feast of the Queenship of Blessed Virgin Mary.

“…if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will heal them from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

Inspired by Our Lady, the Patriotic Rosary is a powerful prayer fore divine protection and mercy for our Nation and our government leaders at all levels. Each decade of the Rosary starts with a historical quote from famous leaders who helped develop our form of government. Each Hail Mary of the Rosary is dedicated to every state of the United States of America.

We would like to pray a Patriotic Rosary to ask Mary’s intercession to brign our country back to God and ask for God’s blessing. It should last about an hour.

Please invite your family and friends to join us especially the children. Mary’s heart is most touhed by their presence.

Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Pray for us.
