Letter from Father Jantz
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This weekend, we are celebrating yet another special occasion: the feast of the patron saint of our diocese, St. Paul. Like we did with the feast of our parish patron saint in July, we have transferred the feast to Sunday so that everyone can enjoy the celebration.
There is a bit of a curiosity with this feast day, however. We don’t observe St. Paul’s feast day on the usual date from the universal Church calendar: the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, which falls on June 29 each year. Instead, the Diocese of Birmingham celebrates our patron on the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul (normally January 25, albeit transferred to Sunday this year). I think this speaks to the reality that we are a young and growing diocese. We were first established in 1969, and although we have grown a lot since then, Catholics are still a minority. This is missionary territory!
The celebration of St. Paul’s conversion, then, inspires us in two ways. First, for ourselves, to make sure that we are always aware of and open to Christ’s call to turn away from sin and look to him. And second, to make sure that we never cease to speak God’s word to everyone in our lives. Most of our neighbors might believe in God and the Bible—but do they really know Him? Have they learned about the beautiful and life-giving way of following him which is the Catholic tradition? Like St. Paul, we are God’s chosen instruments to reveal him to our family, friends, and neighbors.
Let’s ask for the intercession of Mary, the Queen of the Apostles, our diocesan patron St. Paul, and our parish patron St. Thomas, that we will all be bold witness to God’s love and calling.
God bless,
Fr Jantz

Clases de RCIA Para Adultos 9/13
La Parroquia de Santo Tomás comenzará las sesiones el domingo 13 de septiembre para aquellos que estén interesados en recibir sacramentos de iniciación. El proceso se llama el rito de la iniciación cristiana. Este proceso de la RCIA es para personas que no han sido bautizadas, personas que han sido bautizadas en otra tradición cristiana que desean convertirse en católicas, y católicos adultos que han sido bautizados, pero que no han sido confirmados. La RCIA será la única sesión presencia en persona que se ofrece en Santo Tomás este primer semestre. Las sesiones serán los domingos de 9:30 AM a 10:45 AM. Las sesiones en inglés se reunirán en el Salón Parroquial, y las sesiones en español se reunirán en la Sala de San José. Debido a la necesidad de distanciamiento social, las únicas personas que podrán asistir a estas sesiones serán los candidatos, sus cónyuges y sus padrinos.
