interested in learning about the Catholic faith? Do
you know someone who was baptized Catholic as
an infant, but never received any other sacraments,
or attended religious education or Mass while
growing up? Are you a visitor, curious about what
the Catholic Church teaches? Perhaps thinking
about joining the Catholic Church?
For more info, please call Edie Shanahan, 865-2719276, or [email protected].

ARE YOU INTERESTED?
Fr. Doug is planning opportunities for you to
experience two prayer retreats from different
spiritual perspectives in the coming year. One retreat
will be at the Abbey of Gethsemani near Louisville, KY
and the other will be at Ignatius House outside of
Atlanta. Each retreat will be 2 nights/3 days and will
cost approximately $200 - 260 pp plus transportation.
We are looking at the months of April, June, or
August. We cannot provide specific information until
we know how many adults might be interested.
Please call the office, 986-9885, or [email protected]

or both of these retreats. Indicating an interest will
not oblige you to participate.

Good News from the St. Thomas Music Ministry!
• We will be using the Misa Luna Mass setting
for this summer!
•
Communion Antiphon for this week:
Come As a Child.
Come as a child, when He calls you to follow.
Just come as a child, for His love is untold.
Come as a child, when you seek His communion,
For then all His blessings unfold.
•
Have you been thinking lately about joining
up with one of our SEVEN music ministry
groups? We HOPE that has been on your
mind! In fact, the summer months can be a
WONDERFUL time to check out one of the
adult choirs. During the summer months
(June and July) there is no pressure to have
to come to a weekly rehearsal! We just meet
up in the choir room about 40 minutes
before each Sunday Mass (8:20 or 10:50) to
go over the music for that Mass! It’s just
that easy! And we have a great time being
together, singing for Our Lord! If you’d like
more information, see Marla Emerson
(contact info on the front of this bulletin.)
So come and join one of St. Thomas’ best
ministry groups! You’ll be glad you did!
DEAR FRIENDS,
Since you regularly contribute articles for publication
in the monthly newsletter, we are writing to inform
you that the July issue of Without A Doubt is the last
(hard copy) paper issue we will print – we are going
“paperless”. Articles may be sent in print format to the
webmaster, Chris Lucheon at [email protected].
Thank you for your kindness, patience, and support
during the last ten years.
Blessings,
Linda Conrad and Mary Vaughan
