There are Two Models of Spirituality outlined, which
guide our thinking. This book will guide for living in the
Spirit. If you do not have a copy, pick up your free copy
(red cover) in the St. Thomas narthex. Father will guide
us, as he has in the past, in our spiritual journey.

SELF-OUTSIDE-GOD
MAINTENANCE COLLECTION IN JUNE
In June, we will have our annual collection for parish
maintenance needs. This year’s collection will be used
to help pay for our new maintenance building. Upon
receiving excellent feedback on our drawings, minor
changes to the design were made, resulting in a
projected cost of $40,000.
We are grateful for your support of the Capital
Collection in January which fully funded our new
security system. However, that collection was not
sufficient to pay for the maintenance building.
Please prayerfully consider donating to this year’s
maintenance collection. If you are an envelope user, you
have an envelope in your June supply. If you would like
to give online, you may do so by going to the Maintenance
Fund giving opportunity on the WeShare site which is
accessible from our website, www.sthomaslc.com
CATHOLIC CHARITIES
PREGNANCY HELP CENTER
BABY BOTTLE DRIVE
This weekend, St. Thomas parishioners will have the

change, bills, or a check, and returning it next weekend,
June 14 - 15. The Pregnancy Help Center offers
unconditional support to mothers, fathers, and babies
and to any woman facing a difficult or unplanned
pregnancy. Your generosity will make a big difference
in their lives. Thank you for your support.

WOMEN’S GUILD JUNE PROGRAM CHANGE
Due to an out-of-town scheduling conflict which has just
arisen, Cardinal Rigali has had to cancel his evening visit
and event at St. Thomas for Monday, June 23rd. The
Women’s Guild will change their meeting back to the
regular time of 9 a.m., immediately following the 8:30
a.m. morning Mass on Monday, June 23rd. We are very
fortunate to have Stu and Jan McFadden, representing
NPH (Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos), present their
program; the topic will be “Giving your Heart and
Support to the Kids of NPH”. Please mark the change to
your calendar and join us for an informative meeting
and slide show presentation.
