God has asked us, through the messages of our heavenly Mother, to pray the Rosary, spend time in Adoration, go to Confession regularly and receive the Lord in the Eucharist. Jesus calls us to follow Him through the sacraments and prayer. To answer this call, October 2017, St. thomas initi-ated The Night of Reparation. This is a structured evening of confession, Mass and prayer. It is held the First Friday of every month. It begins at 7:30 with Confessions and Mass at 8:30 After Mass it is prayer, Rosary and a break for coffee and snacks.

8 At midnight we have Mass to celebrate the First Saturday of the month. Adoration is on-going. I challenge and invite YOU to come and see! For the new year, offer the gift of your time and the heart of reparation to our Lord by spending some time tak-ing part in this evening offered to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary for our families and world. You can come in for five minutes or the whole even-ing. Mark your calendar to join our Lord and Blessed Mother for this grace filled evening. As a Christian Community we pray for our rela-tives and friends who are sick especially: Pauline Ausman, Dolores Brinker, Ron Coppola, Sam-uel DePhillipo, Bill Genz, John Horan, Lilliam Kingsbury, Reilly McElrath, Pat McLaughlin, Valerie Mclaughlin, John Rahner, Dominic Rosini, Karen Shields, Brian Slater, Mark Vickers.
