The Young Adults Ministry Presents: A Screening of "Jesus Thirsts, The Miracle of the Eucharist"

/

The STA Young Adult Ministry is happy to host an official screening of Jesus Thirsts, The Miracle of the Eucharist to the St. Thomas The Apostle Parish community!

This visually stunning film takes viewers on a global journey to uncover the transformative power of the Eucharist. Engaging in profound dialogue with prominent Catholic leaders, the film explores the biblical origins of the Eucharist and shares powerful personal stories of lives transformed by the Blessed Sacrament. This exploration makes it unmistakably clear that the Eucharist is not merely a symbol, but is indeed Jesus Christ Himself — fervently desiring to quench our spiritual thirst with His boundless love.

Inspiring insights from Scott Hahn, Chris Stefanik, Bishop Andrew Cozzens, Noelle Mering, Tim Gray, Fr. Donald Calloway, Eduardo Verastegui, Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ, and many others.

The movie will be hosted in the parish center on Friday, January 10, 2025, at 6pm. Tickets are $11 for adults and $9 for children. Tickets are available at https://brushfire.com/faithcontentnetwork/jesusthirsts-themiracleoftheeucharist/592340/tickets

Please donate a Thanksgiving Turkey or Ham

/

The Beyond Cornerstone Ministry is partnering with UNICO of Bloomfield to run a Thanksgiving turkey and ham collection for needy families.

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, please let’s remember the hungry and homeless among us.

The Bloomfield branch of UNICO, an Italian nonprofit organization, will hold their semi-
annual food drive on Saturday November 16th from 9AM to 1PM at the Brookdale
ShopRite. They will be collecting non-perishable foods, cases of water, and personal
supplies. St. Augustine’s is one of the soup kitchens that will benefit from this
collection.


Joanne Hand will collect turkeys and hams on Saturday Nov 23 between 7:30 AM
and 8:30 AM in the parish parking lot by the handicapped entrance and will bring them
directly to the St. Augustine’s soup kitchen. The Sisters will prepare and distribute
Thanksgiving meals to families in need.


We thank you for your continued generosity. Let us all give thanks for all of God's blessings.

Update on Choir Loft, Towers, and Organ Repair 9.26.2024

/

Dear Parish Family,

We hope you are all doing well, and we wanted to update you on the amazing progress we are making in the choir loft.

Sumbmerac LLC has been moving along quickly, pulling down old and damaged plaster, repairing and sealing up the exterior walls within the choir loft. They are right on schedule, and will be moving towards the Rose window with the scaffolding shortly. We have found a few new smaller areas that were hidden behind the pipes that were removed that will need repair and sealing, and we will be getting pricing for those areas moving forward. 

Konzelman and Allen Organ are currently working together pulling apart the problem areas while the repairs are being made. 

God Bless,

Damian Addis
