STEPHEN MINISTRY
We’re brought up to be strong, self-sufficient,
independent people. We tend to think that if we ask for
help, it’s a sign of weakness. So we try to keep our
struggles hidden, stuffed deep inside. However, that’s
not God’s plan. Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one another’s
burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” God wants us
to care for others—and allow others to care for us in
our time of need. Contact Barbara Brennan 458-8922
or Tom Ringenbach 458-0915 for more information.

ATTENDANCE / ASISTENCIA
COME EXPLORE CATHOLICISM
Do you have a family member or friend who is
interested in learning about the Catholic faith? Do you
know someone who was baptized Catholic as an infant,
but never received any other sacraments, or attended
religious education or Mass while growing up? Are you
a visitor, curious about what the Catholic Church teaches?
Perhaps thinking about joining the Catholic Church?
Catholic Inquiry sessions: Every Monday at 6pm in
Room 111. All are welcome to join us!
For more info, please call Edie Shanahan, 865-271-9276,
or [email protected].
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Remember that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul can
accept donations of used major appliances in good
working condition. Call (865) 274-8697 to arrange for
pick up.
Today as we celebrate the feast of the Ascension we are
reminded that Christ’s saving work on earth continues
through his disciples…and now through us. When we
give to the poor, God indeed pours his love, peace and
joy into our hearts, into our lives and into the hearts of
those who are poor. The next meeting of the Society
will be at 1:00 pm on Friday, May 20 in the Deacon Jose
Rivera room. Call Larry Finneran at (865) 657-9119 for
more information.
PANCAKE BREAKFAST THIS SUNDAY
Come enjoy Pancakes and MORE after 9:00am Mass. In
addition to pancakes, knights serve sausage, mini
omelets, French toast, biscuits and gravy, orange juice
and coffee. Remember all proceeds from the pancake
breakfasts go to support our diocesan seminarians and
Knights of Columbus local charities. We hope to see you
and thank you for your support.
HOME CAMPAIGN INFORMATION
One of the most well-known projects associated with
the Home Campaign is the new Cathedral. It is helpful
to know that provided we meet our goal of $2,000,000,
we here at St. Thomas the Apostle will receive at least
65% of all funds we raise to help us at St. Thomas the
Apostle and that about 13% of what we raise will go
toward the building of the new Cathedral. In fact,
Sacred Heart Cathedral and major donors will fund $20
million of this project, while the remaining 50 parishes
in our diocese will combine to provide an estimated
$4.5 million in support. As the Mother Church of the
Diocese, the Cathedral belongs to every Catholic in East
Tennessee. Current and future generations will benefit
from this worship space for decades to come.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
The diocesan Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry
is requesting information for their High School Outreach
Program. If you are a graduating high school senior,
please stop by the office to pick up a card to fill out.
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
NEED YOUR HELP
Two guiding principles of the Knights of Columbus are
Unity and Fraternity. Unity signifies the act of relying
on each other, sticking together to complete a project.
At the inception of the order, fraternity often meant
caring for widows and orphans, thus the Knights of
Columbus Insurance. Today, members continue to
focus on the care of those brothers and their families
who are sick and in distress.
We need your help in telling us of any member of the
Knights who is ill, homebound, unable to attend a
meeting because of the inability to drive at night, having
difficulty maintaining their home or yard or just needs a
visit from a fellow Knight.
Please provide the
opportunity for the members of St. Thomas the Apostle
Parish, Knights of Columbus to be of service to a fellow
Knight by calling Deputy Grand Knight Ray Mouse at
865-712-7820 or Chairman of the Knights Pro Active
Assistance Program Joe Filosi at 423- 884-6979.
VIDALIA ONIONS
Vidalia onions will be for sale after Masses on May 1415. First come, first served. 10 pounds for $10; checks
made payable to “Colombia Mission”. Benefit for
Colombian Mission.
FLOWERS BY THE TABERNACLE
Flowers by the Tabernacle this weekend are in loving
memory of Parading Escobarte from Connie Miller.
KROGER - CARD REBATE PROGRAM

they will rebate money back to St. Thomas. To date
they have sent us checks totaling $202. All you have to
