As an active and living parish, St. Thomas’ is vitally connected to the social causes that directly affect the community around us. The Outreach Committee serves as the hands and feet for the parish expanding its ministry of social justice and community outreach to both our city and the world beyond.
Outreach is one of the ways by which we live the Gospel outside the walls of the Church. St. Thomas’ has a long history of involvement in and commitment to many area charities, non-profits and special causes. Outreach communicates and promotes the spiritual/theological basis for social ministry, developing priorities of activity and guidelines for giving and coordinating the Church’s involvement locally, nationally and internationally.
