We Remember

Many people wish to celebrate a deceased friend or loved one who has touched their life in a special way. St. Thomas Aquinas offers a variety of ways to remember those you care about

Mass intentions

It is a traditional practice of the Church to remember and pray for our beloved, both living and deceased. Often a Memorial Mass is requested where prayer for the deceased is the intention of that Mass. One must never forget the infinite graces that flow from the Sacrifice of the Mass which benefit one’s soul. If you would like to request a Mass Intention, please stop by the Church Office. Online giving is not offered at this time.

Easter Flower Fund

Remember a loved one on Easter by donating in their name to our Easter Flower Fund. Easter Flower Contributions will be used to purchase dozens of lilies that will decorate the Sanctuary in celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. The names of all remembered or honored as well as the names of donors will be publicly displayed in the Church during the Easter season. To make an online donation, click the button below.

Prayer Candles

Towards the front of church, you will see tables placed at the feet of the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph with lit and unlit candles. These candles may be lit by anyone to demonstrate the intention of a person's prayer. The continually burning flame symbolizes the ongoing nature of the prayer even after the person who lit the candle has left the church. We invite you to light a candle for a deceased loved one. There is a suggested donation of $3 which can be placed in the box by the candles.
