Faith Direct enables parishioners to make your Church contributions through either direct debit from your checking/savings account or through your credit/debit card. No more writing checks or searching for envelopes on the way out the door. Now you can apply the convenience of direct debit to your parish offerings in much the same way as you may now use it to make your mortgage, car or tuition payments. Faith Direct also offers you personalized offertory cards to replace your envelopes for the collection basket. Please join me in enrolling by responding to the mailing you will receive or visit www.faithdirect.net to enroll securely online. Our parish code is CA779. In the upcoming weeks the link for egiving will be on our website-details forthcoming. The majority of our parking lot will be available for our parishioners. Most Sunday Funday booths will be located in the school courtyard, minimizing the use of our parking lot Reminder: Parking on Sunrise and El Repetto streets are designated as “permit parking only”.

(Ps. 119:105) Estudio de la Biblia en Español Comenzando lunes 26 de septiembre a las 7:00 pm We welcome all youth to the Confirmation program and children preparing for their First Communion here at St. Thomas Aquinas. This year we want to help parents, that they may grow and improve in all aspects, but especially in their spirituality. It is to be virtuous to be happy and make others happy. Bible is like the manual of virtues, because in it we find many examples of love, service, strength, patience and generosity. We join in prayer that God's grace be anticipated and your hearts can be open in this time of preparation for the encounter with Jesus through the sacraments. Educación Religiosa y la Palabra de Dios Lámpara es tu Palabra para mis pasos, luz en mi sendero. (Sal. 119,105) Les damos la Bienvenida a todos los jóvenes del programa de confirmación y a los niños de la preparación a la primera comunión de Santo Tomas de Aquino. En este año queremos ayudar a los padres de familia a que ustedes crezcan y mejoren en todos los aspectos, pero sobre todo en lo espiritual. Se trata de ser virtuosos para ser felices y hacer felices a los demás. La Biblia es como el manual de las virtudes, porque en ella encontramos muchos ejemplos de amor, de servicio, de fortaleza, de paciencia y de generosidad. Nos unimos en oración para que la gracia de Dios se adelante y disponga sus corazones en este tiempo de preparación para el encuentro con Jesús a través de los sacramentos. -Sr. Rocio Nieto, HMSP En respuesta a nuestra encuesta de Sugerencias Parroquiales, estaremos iniciando un programa de estudio de la Biblia en español los lunes, comenzando el 26 de septiembre a las 7 pm en nuestra iglesia.
