Altar Flower Dedications
We’re making a change to how flower dedications work at St. Thomas. We’ll now be displaying flowers once a month — on the last weekend of each month. There will be four dedication spots available each month, and the dedications will be printed in the bulletin for the entire month. The cost is $30 per dedication. If you’d like to reserve a month, please fill out a flower envelope in the gathering space and include $30 for each month requested. A list of available and reserved months will be posted on the community bulletin board in the cloister. If you have any questions, please speak with Laura Murray.

And many others!
Please phone or email the office if you’d like to get involved in one of the above roles. If there’s another area you’d like to become involved, you can contact the office and Fr. Douglas will follow up with you.
