Parish Committees

Evangelization Committee
The Evangelization Committee of St. Thomas Aquinas seeks to awaken in all parish members the call to evangelize. The committee desires to challenge all parish members to invite others outside the parish to hear the message of salvation in Jesus Christ so they may come to join us in the fullness of the Catholic faith. The committee hopes to promote through faithful discipleship the gospel values in our society and calls all parish members to be ministers of welcome, reconciliation, and understanding to those who have stopped practicing the faith.

Property Maintenance Committee
The PMC was formed to assist the staff in maintaining the buildings and grounds. The committee also directs the parish workdays. Volunteers are needed both to work on parish workdays as well as to serve on the committee.

STA Fundraising Committee
STA…growing for the future – has been blessed to procure the adjacent property. This active fundraising committee has been working with great zeal and dedication to meet the debt payments. They are working on behalf of the parish and will be approaching every parishioner for their input and support.

Stewardship Committee
The scriptures consistently emphasize the need to be God’s faithful stewards of time, talent and treasure. Christian stewards recognize God as the origin of life and the source of all they have, all they are, and all they will be. They are grateful for what they have received and eager to cultivate and share their gifts out of love for God and one another. This committee consists of individuals who are interested in helping our parishioners grow in an understanding of this spiritual and biblically based concept and making stewardship a way of life for each member of our parish.

Vocations Committee
Jesus said, “The harvest is great, while the laborers are few.” The vocations committee’s goal is to foster and promote vocations to the priesthood and religious life and to help in the discernment process of those individuals who feel they may have a calling. The committee also affirms existing religious vocations.

Welcoming Committee
Making the transition to a new parish family is made easier for newcomers when caring members of the community reach out with open arms to welcome them. The Committee introduces newcomers to all that St. Thomas Aquinas has to offer, invites them to participate in ministry, and directs them to the proper sources in addressing any needs. The Committee periodically sponsors get-togethers of new parishioners following designated Masses.
