Click the live stream Mass link below fifteen minutes prior to Mass time. For those viewing Mass after the live stream has ended, click the PLAY button and slide the red cursor line to the 15-minute mark; Mass begins there.
Holy Eucharist will be distributed Sunday 4:00 - 4:30 PM in the Parish courtyard for those who 'attend' Mass technologically and wish to receive.
While Fr. Crino is Away...
Though I am taking a break, St. Thomas the Apostle Parish life and communication will not. My vacation starts today. I will be back Friday, October 1.
Frs. Ken and Callistus will lead/tend our flock spiritually during that time; Msgrs. John Lyons and Al Schifano have graciously agreed to return to offer a couple of designated weekend Masses.
I have also asked parishioner Monica Rafter - who routinely gathers and prepares with me info for our Flocknote Weekly Parish Updates, ongoing Facebook posts and daily updates to our parish website - to continue those traditions in my absence. Flocknotes in September will appear over her name.
I look forward to returning in October - refreshed and energized - for the many seasonal St. Thomas activities the Fall and 2021 holidays bring. Until then, be assured you and our entire parish family will be in my prayers.
In Christ,
Fr. Patrick Crino
Memorial of St. Augustine - August 28
St. Augustine, patron of the Diocese of Tucson, is a pre-eminent Doctor of the Church. He is considered one of the most important and well-known theologians in the history of Christian religion.
Augustine experienced one of the most dramatic conversions ever in the Church, a change of belief and behavior, which led to his most influential written works, Confessions and the City of God.
Lunch Bunch - Friday, August 27
August's gathering happens at 8:30 AM in the Parish Hall. Our volunteers make 1,000 sandwiches (in less than 30 minutes) for lunch bags to feed the hungry at Casa Maria Soup Kitchen. Come, join the fun!
