A WELCOME TO ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CATHOLIC CHURCH
Dear newcomers and visitors,
Welcome to our parish!
On behalf of Fr. Krzysztof, Fr. George and the parish staff, may I say we’re blessed to have you and thank you for reading this message. It’s our hope that you will find whatever information you need in one of these forms of the media.
Our mission statement is “Learning, Living and Sharing the Good News of the Gospel message,” and we hope this is evident in the many opportunities we provide for learning about our faith, living our faith as a volunteer with one of more of our many ministries and sharing our faith with others.
Please know that we are here to help you grow in your faith, and may the good Lord bless all of us with the knowledge of His great love for us through His Son Jesus Christ Our Lord, and with the prayers of our Blessed Mother, may we also grow as a community of love and respect for one another.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1608827598487{background-image: url(https://stanpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/BlueCrossTile.jpg?id=3147) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

The Catholic Ministry Appeal is simple, more transparent, and allows you to know exactly where your gifts are going so you can give with confidence.
In its inaugural year, the 2022 Catholic Ministry Appeal exceeded its goal! Thanks to the generosity of our grace-filled diocesan family, we know what is possible and the impact we have in our community. Click here for an overview of how we performed in 2023.
In 2025, we will work together to raise $9.5 million to ensure these ministries can continue bringing ministry to life with every dollar donated toward our goal directly funding our ministries, outreach, and programs.
And, it is important to note that all of the ministries included in this appeal have a direct tie to our call to be missionary disciples, bringing others into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Generous gifts to the Catholic Ministry Appeal are tied to two circles of our Mater Dei Giving Society click here to learn more.

We need to warn you that the scam that has been used against the Church for the past few years is back again! Please do not fall for it! In this scam, someone who is claiming to be one of our priests is asking for money, supposedly for some good cause. But the person asking is a scam artist, and the money would not go to a good cause, but it would go into the pockets of the scam artist! Please know that no priest of the Diocese of St. Petersburg is ever allowed to make such personal requests for money, and please for your own sake, do not give them any! God bless you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
