private meeting

The monthly property committee is meeting by phone or Zoom on usually the first Thursday of the month at noon. The Property Ministry sees to the upkeep and maintenance of our building and grounds. Members work on projects as complex as replacing the roof to as simple as changing a light bulb. This group also coordinates the annual parish clean up. Our grounds are maintained and beautified by volunteers who mow the lawn or tend to the gardens.Contact Amy Keach for the Zoom link for the meetings as it changes each month.

Nearly everyone knows something about Middle Earth, the rich fantasy world that emerged from the imagination of JRR Tolkien.  Fewer people know that Tolkien was a devout Catholic, and that his stories and characters have much to say about his view of the faithful life.

In this short (3-week) series, we will be guided through the religious landscape of Middle Earth by Mark Eddy Smith's book Tolkien's Ordinary Virtues: Exploring the Spiritual Themes of the Lord of the Rings.  Come along for some clips from Peter Jackson's LOTR movies, and stay for some spirited discussion of what Frodo and Gandalf and even Sauron (the villain of the stories) teach us about living and moving and having our being in God.


via Zoom- contact the office for an invitation  
ALL are Welcome

meets in great hall

The Blue Hen Bounty is open to college students who are food insecure and cannot provide ample nutrition for themselves, please come to the student food closet any Thursday from 2-5 p.m. at St. Thomas's Parish located at 276 S. College Ave. (directly across from Student Health).

We have collected many donated food products that we will gladly share with those students in need. All that we ask is you bring your student ID for verification and then we will provide you with whatever amount of food you are in need of.

If you have any questions or cannot make the designated time and would like to set up an appointment, please contact the church office at (302) 368-4644. Please help us spread the word!

ALL are Welcome! for Prayers and Communion

Drive through, walk up, skate by, ride your bike – we will read the confession, Fr Howie will offer absolution, and we will read the Lord’s Prayer (from a card to be provided), and then the Host will be offered as we do presently in church – in small plastic cups. Masks and hand sanitizer will be in use. The normal assumption will be that those coming to receive the Eucharist will have attended the 9:00 a.m. service virtually.

This is a community effort to feed people in need. Every weekday, the churches in Newark make lunch for anybody who is hungry.  St. Thomas's has  co-teamed with St. Nicholas to make lunch on the 3rd Monday of each month. The shifts are short, but the camaraderie is long:
10 AM - 11:45  Prepare lunch
11:45 - 1   Serve lunch
11:30 - 12:30  Cleanup
If you would like to help, contact Madeline Johnson  mad1240@comcast.net
