TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
St. Thomas the Apostle School News
Our preschool students had a great time
celebrating Pope Francis’ visit to the United States.
The children learned many things about this man of
peace, such as where he lives, what he does for
humanity, and especially what foods he likes to eat. With much
delight, the children learned his Holiness loves pizza! So, what
better way to celebrate this special event than with a pizza party
appropriately named “Pizza with the Pope!” The children
created their own miniature English muffin pizza and ended the
celebration with a Pope Francis parade. A wonderful time was
had by the children and teachers alike!
If you wish to learn more about St. Thomas the Apostle
School, please visit us at www.stthomasws.org. Thank you!

OCTOBER 4, 2015
Pope Francis in his encyclical The Joy of the Gospel continually
raises the need for the Church to reach out to people—in a spirit
of welcome, understanding and mercy.
The Diocese of Springfield under the leadership of Bishop
Rozanski has begun planning for an evangelization process
designed to reach out to those who may be disenfranchised in
some way, inviting them to Rediscover their Spiritual Roots. It is
our hope that this process will encourage people to take a fresh
look at our church and faith tradition.
In order for us to plan an effective program we need to hear from
you about your experiences with the church, the strengths you
perceive and the areas which cause you difficulty or may need
more attention.
Please consider participating in and sharing with local family and
friends in an on-line survey now available which will help us
understand these issues. It is open through October 5 to all active
and inactive Catholics, as well as non-Catholics who work and
collaborate with our faith community.
The survey can
be accessed through diospringfield.org, observe.org and our own
website: stthomaswestspringfield.org. Thank you in advance for
sharing your thoughts with us!
