Celebrating the 70th year of Catholic education at St. Thomas School!
Thanks to so many of you, we have sold out just about all of our tickets! If you’re not able to be there, we encourage you to make a donation in support of one of our honorees; they deserve our sincere thanks for all the ways they have contributed to our school and parish!
Thank you for your support!
Remade for Mission
This is a diocesan-wide effort from now until April to consider one fundamental question: what is our mission from Jesus Christ, and how do we fulfill that mission? (I guess that’s two fundamental questions!) The mission of Jesus and his Church is simple and beautiful: the salvation of souls. Our destination is not an earthly one, it is a heavenly one, and the mission of the Church is to make Christ present on this earth and guide us to heaven. What goes into fulfilling that mission? Lots of things! Sacraments, ministries, clergy, church buildings, finances, time, etc. “Remade for Mission” is a look at how we are best using our resources to fulfill the mission.
Network-wide Synod Session:
Saturday, October 18 from 12-2pm at St. Matthew’s in Voorheesville
The invitation is open for anyone to come to pray, listen, and contribute to these important conversations.
The Theater Institute at Russell Sage College will present "Nunsense" in the St. Thomas School Auditorium on Saturday, October 25 at 7:30pm and Sunday, October 26 at 2:00pm.
