DIOCESAN CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
As you can see from the enclosed letter from Bishop
Stika, the diocese is moving forward with a capital
campaign that will benefit all of our parishes and the
diocese. It will be comprised of a pilot wave and three
subsequent waves as well as a major gift component.
The pilot wave, which will include about 5-6 parishes
will begin this September. I wanted to inform you that St.
Thomas plans to be participating in the last phase of the
campaign which means that our fundraising for the
campaign will not begin until early 2016. However, in the
meantime you may be contacted directly by the diocese
to contribute to the major gift portion of the campaign.
Over the coming months, we will begin to plan a project
for our campaign as well as form committees to assist
us with the campaign process. We will continue to
inform you about our campaign planning phase through
our website and the bulletin.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
In Christ,
Fr. Doug
Evenings with Father Doug
RECONCILIATION
Wednesday, September 10
6:30-8:00 pm
St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church
Father Doug will enrich our understanding of the
Sacrament of Reconciliation and its three elements:
Conversion, Confession and Celebration. Our main
intention in this sacrament is to reconcile with God like
the “prodigal son”; and to acknowledge our sins with
true sorrow before the priest. Reading and listening to
the Gospels we understand how important forgiveness
of our sins is for all of us. Growing in holiness we will
have a stronger sense of sin, sorrow for sins, and a need
for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. No registration
necessary. We will meet in the PFLC.
MEN’S GROUPS STUDY OF THE
BOOK OF REVELATION
The book of Revelation will be a 10 week study for two
men’s groups.

study at 9:15 AM each Monday.

Spanish Inquisition, the major people and events of the
past 2,000 years. Discover how the Catholic Church

WHAT THE ALL SAINTS PARISHIONERS
SAID ABOUT THE ALPHA PROGRAM AT
ALL STS PARISH FALL 2013
- register now space is limited
“Before Alpha I would describe myself as
a Sunday Catholic, after Alpha I am closer to the Holy
Spirit and stronger in prayer – I am no longer a Sunday
Catholic, it is part of me.” ~ George Fredrich

From the Music Ministry:
NEW MASS COMING
Our parish will begin using a new Mass setting this fall
called The Mass of Glory. It is found in our hymnal on
page 58. You should begin to start hearing parts of this
Mass sung as a prelude to Mass each week by our choirs
and cantors. In September you will begin hearing the
Gloria sung as a prelude. We will incorporate the
Gospel Acclamation and the Amen into our current
Mass setting on the very first weekend in September.
Then, each week we will add one new Mass part until
we have incorporated all of them into our Mass
setting. So, as we gradually add Mass parts, we will
gradually move into this new Mass setting. By October
we should be good to go with the entire Mass!
However, have no fear! We will not abandon The
Heritage Mass! We plan on returning to the Heritage
Mass at Christmastime, as well as the Octave of
Easter. We are planning on using Mass of Glory only
during Ordinary Time. So, give a listen over the next
several weeks. And then join us as we introduce this
new Mass setting!

CAMPAÑA CAPITAL DIOCESANA
Como pueden ver en la carta adjunta del Obispo Stika,
la diócesis se está moviendo hacia adelante con una
campaña de capital que beneficiará a todas nuestras
parroquias y la diócesis. Se compone de una “oleada
piloto” y tres oleadas sucesivas, así como un importante
componente de un donativo.
La oleada piloto, que incluirá cerca de 5-6 parroquias
comenzará este mes de septiembre. Quiero informarles
que St. Thomas planea participar en la última fase de la
campaña lo que significa que nuestra recaudación de
fondos para la campaña no comenzará hasta principios de
2016. De manera que, mientras tanto puede que usted sea
contactado directamente por la diócesis para contribuir
hacia la mayor parte de los donativos de la campaña.
En los próximos meses, vamos a empezar a planificar un
proyecto para nuestra campaña, así como formar
comités para ayudar con el proceso de la campaña.
Vamos a continuar informándole acerca de nuestra fase
de planificación de la campaña a través de nuestro sitio
web y el boletín. Por favor póngase en contacto
conmigo si tiene cualquier pregunta o preocupación.
En Cristo,
Padre Doug
