Palms on Palm Sunday

R.C.I.A. Thank You
Parishioner response to last week's urgent request for 2021 R.C.I.A. qualified candidate sponsors was both overwhelming and gratifying. The outpouring of volunteer assistance was swift and our needs were quickly resolved.
NEEDED: Live Stream Operator - Saturday Vigil Mass
Consider this request from Fr. Pat in the truest spirit of "Seek and ye shall find..."
Beginning Saturday, April 10, St. Thomas the Apostle Parish will begin routinely live streaming two weekend Masses. The first of two will always be the Saturday 5:00 PM Vigil Mass.
In our large, diverse and very talented parish family, I pray there will be interested, willing, capable parishioners who will come forward to volunteer for this fairly immediate opportunity. Here's a brief outline of what's needed:
Who? 2 - 3 (or more) computer/tech savvy volunteers; 1 per Mass
What? Live stream 5:00 PM Saturday Vigil Mass each Saturday
When? 4:00 - 6:00 PM
Where? Sacristy
Why? to help continue our critically important technological outreach to ongoing homebound members.
How? Training (including step-by-step instructions) will be provided by our audio video guru, Tyler Irving. Pre-programmed Tristar software; pre-set cameras, angles.
Your Pastor is requesting your immediate help; we need your skills/talent. Those interested in exploring this volunteer opportunity further, contact Tyler Irving directly at tylerairving@cox.net not later than Friday, March 26. God bless you.
In Tough Times, Go to St. Joseph
St. Joseph did not look for shortcuts; neither should we. Insights from Sr. Constance Veit, Director of Communications for the Little Sisters of the Poor is below.
