Once the adventure is shared, have your loved ones send Thomas back, ready for his next grand adventure with you.
As we bask in the warmth of summer; it’s important to remember that our faith family is never far from our hearts. Traveling Thomas isn’t about just capturing memories; it’s about staying connected with our faith family no matter where the season takes us. Let’s make this summer unforgettable with Traveling Thomas by our side!

Inspired by Flat Stanley: The Flat Saint Thomas Summer Program draws its inspiration from the beloved children’s book character, Flat Stanley. Created by author Jeff Brown in 1964, Flat Stanley sparked the imagination of children worldwide with his unique ability to travel by mail due to his two-dimensional form. This idea blossomed into the Flat Stanley Project, encouraging children to create their own paper cutouts and send them on adventures, fostering literacy and community.
In the same spirit, our Flat Saint Thomas will journey far and wide, connecting our faith family through shared stories and pictures. It’s a wonderful way to keep the sense of community alive, even when we’re apart, and to remind us that our faith and fellowship can travel any distance.
