The Roman Catholic Faith Community of St. Thomas the Apostle recognizes God's call to be a sign of His Kingdom in the communities we serve.

We respond to this call by:

  • Leading people to a deeper relationship with Christ by providing opportunities for spiritual growth, renewal, education, the celebration of the Sacraments, and the worship of God in the sacred liturgy;
  • Encouraging a commitment to justice and to service of those in need;
  • Promoting good stewardship of our time, talent and treasure;
  • Building a community of hospitality and support in the daily living out of Christian ideals by nourishing mutual respect and understanding within our Church, our families, our community, and other faith traditions.

Archbishop's Annual Appeal 2012

My Dear Friends in Christ,
This year’s appeal theme is Come Be My Light. To be a light is to live our faith in practice. Through good deeds and acts we come out of the darkness and into God’s light and in turn, we become the beacons of hope for those in need.

Supporting the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal is an opportunity to provide hope, faith and love to so many in our community. The appeal helps the hungry, the homeless, and the sick. It also provides for religious education and makes our faith a reality for thousands in Northern New Jersey.

As good stewards of the mysteries and gifts of Jesus Christ, I humbly ask you to join me in making a generous gift to the 2012 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal and to be the light for so many in our community.

Please keep me in your prayers and know that you are always remembered in mine.




Most Reverend John J. Myers
Archbishop of Newark
