Dear Parishioners,

Thank you to all who made our Christmas celebration so special here at Saint Thomas. We were blessed with outstanding attendance at our Christmas Masses – thanks for making the time to worship with us.

Thank you to all who participated in the Angel Tree Ministry. Many families were blessed through your generosity. We offer special thanks to our Social Concerns Committee, who organized this ministry.

Thank you to all the many people who worked on the decorations for the Church and grounds to make them look so festive for Christmas.

Thanks to all the liturgical ministers for the Christmas liturgies, and throughout the year: our Lectors, Special Ministers of Holy Communion, Altar Servers, Ushers, and Sacristans. Special thanks to all our Music Ministers for the wonderful music for this beautiful season.

Thank you to all the children who participated in our Children’s Christmas Eve Mass. Special thanks to adults who coordinated this beautiful liturgy.

Thanks to all the parish staff, and to all the many parishioners who give so generously of your time and talent at Christmas and throughout the year.

Thank you for your cards, gifts, and support for me, for our staff, and for all our parish community.

May God bless you and your families this Christmas Season and always.

Peace and Joy,

Father Ray Dunmyer
