The Sacrament of Confession, also known as Reconciliation, is a beautiful opportunity that allows all of us to renounce the sins we have committed and seek absolution. In His endless mercy and love, God absolves us of our sins and forgives our mistakes, allowing us to reconcile with the Church and God. The meaning of confession and its value helps you realize your mistakes and cleanse your soul of sin.

This is a group of talented, creative parishioners who make rosaries right here at St Thomas. They also provide rosaries to mission groups, parishioners traveling home to other countries, new parishioners, and those joining the church or receiving the sacraments. The rosaries are all unique and free to our parish family, their families, and friends. New rosaries come with bilingual instructions for praying the rosary.
We will also continue our long practice of providing a basket of free rosaries in the narthex at Easter. Look for them at the Masses. Contact Pam Geoghegan at 321.482.9668 or [email protected] if you are interested.
Lectio Divina is a contemplative way of reading the Bible. It dates back to the early centuries of the Christian Church and was established as a monastic practice by Benedict in the 6th century. It is a way of praying the scriptures that leads us deeper into God’s word. We slow down. We read a short passage more than once. We chew it over slowly and carefully. We savour it. Scripture begins to speak to us in a new way. It speaks to us personally, and aids that union we have with God through Christ who is himself the Living Word.
Our mission is to help people meet Jesus Christ. He calls each person in our world by name and invites them to get to know him. We reach out with him to help people recognize that call and grow in their relationship with him, finding the answers to life’s questions and discovering their God-given identity and purpose.
