Our Mission
Having recognized the love of the Triune God for us, we seek to draw others into discipleship by our vibrant parish life of worship, service, learning, and loving our neighbors. We are inspired by the Holy Spirit and the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ to pass on the truth of our mission.

At 9:45 AM on Easter Monday, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, spoke these words at the Casa Santa Marta:


"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."



The Funeral for Our Holy Father Francis, Bishop of Rome is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, 2025, 4:00am ET. The Vatican News Channel will be streaming on their channel (www.youtube.com/vatican) and many news outlets will also be providing live coverage.


There will be a Memorial Mass on Tuesday, April 29, 7:00pm at St. Thomas the Apostle, after the Octave of Easter**. All are welcome.


In addition, there will be Masses in the Octave of Easter for the Repose of our late Holy Father  (please note the church location).

  • Thursday, April 24 7:00pm at St. Thomas the Apostle
  • Friday, April 25 7:00pm at St. Timothy
  • Monday, April 28 at St. Thomas the Apostle

From the US Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB): The entire Church mourns the death of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. In cathedrals, basilicas, parish churches, shrines, and chapels, the Holy Eucharist will be offered for the repose of his soul. Communities and individuals will ask God to bestow his infinite mercy on the man who served the Church as Bishop of Rome. This novena has been prepared to help pray for the Pope during this time.


The daily novena—lasting for the novendiales period as directed by the College of Cardinals—consists of a short reading from Scripture or some other ecclesiastical text and some brief prayers, including orations drawn from the Roman Missal and the Order of Christian Funerals.

This Easter, embrace the freedom of the Resurrection as we pray with Sr. Miriam and other exciting guests through the spiritual classic, Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacques Philippe. In each session, we’ll learn how to walk in freedom amidst the circumstances of our daily lives, let go of external attachments, and discover the peace that comes with trusting in God's love and grace.
