Outreach Ministry
On the third weekend of every month, we hold a food and clothing drive which benefits
Sacred Heart Community Services and some needy local families. During each mass on
these weekends, parishioners are welcome to bring their food and clothing donations to
the altar during the presentation of the gifts.
When funeral services take place at St. Thomas, families mourning the loss of a loved
one may choose to have a reception in the parish hall organized by our funeral reception
committee. Because the food is ordinarily donated, it is provided at no cost to the
families. If families wish, committee members will also take care of serving the food and
cleaning up afterwards.
At special times of the year, parishioners take part in other outreach activities, including
the Christmas Giving Tree and the use of Lenten offering boxes.
