Stewardship Dear Friends, With this First Sunday of Advent we begin a new Liturgical Year, another year and season of grace. It is with great hope and expectation that we actively wait. Advent hope is expressed in the first reading: “You, Lord, are our Father, our redeemer you are named forever.” While we despair of our own circumstances which seem to be collapsing around us, yet is our hope full of immortality, “You O Lord are our Father, our redeemer...” In preparing to remember Christ’s first coming, with devout and joyful expectation “We are to be we also await Christ’s second coming in alive and awake fullness of glory, the end toward which we are all headed, to be caught up with Christ to the grace that in glory when Christ will be “all in all”. is always present: That is a joyful hope and expectation, 1st Sunday of Advent “Emmanuel… and it’s happening right here, right now in our own time. It has been said that break- November 30, 2008 God With Us.” downs can be breakthroughs. I believe this Be watchful! Be alert! is such a time. We have great hope on one hand even as the world around You do not know when the time will come. us is changing and dying. Because of our faith, hope, and — Mark 13:33 love, it can be a time of breakthrough, a shift in consciousness as some have called it. It can be and is a time of new beginnings, of necessary change, of conversion. The first reading also says, “...we have withered like leaves, and our guilt carries us away like the wind...Yet, O Lord, you are our father; we are the clay and Welcome... you the potter: we are all the work of your hands.” Guests and Visitors! Because of that I have hope, no matter what comes. So Jesus tells us in the gospel: “Be watchful! Be alert! St. Thomas is here to compan- Watch...What I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”. ion you on your faith journey. We are to be alive and awake to the grace that is always Come with us as we grow in present: “Emmanuel...God With Us.” It needs to be closeness to Christ through presupposition of our Faith in “Dabar-Yahweh”, that God is liturgy, music, faith formation, always talking to us, with us and in us, pushing out into the special events, and countless world in a creative way that the Word might become Flesh in ways to make a difference. us; that Christ would be born anew in us. Would you like to become I end with a prayer that we received from Jack Shea who a Parishioner? Join us did an Advent in-service here with us: Sunday, December 7, at “Lord, we know we have eyes that see not, and ears that Welcome Sunday after the hear not. Today, something we see may cause us to pause: 7:30, 9:00 and 10:45 a.m. something we hear may invite us to ponder. Keep our eyes Masses, in the gym with and ears open so we may follow what calls us into the grace Donuts. of Christmas where the light shines in the darkness.” Amen. Let it be! With Advent Hope for Love and Peace, Worship Commission Prayer for Waiting To Stand Watch calls for us to be alert, and to be sensitive. God, help us to be aware of the true beauty of our surroundings, And remind us in the everyday experiences of our life, to seek peace, beauty, and wisdom. As we anticipate with eagerness the arrival of Christ, help our worship today and in times ahead be reflective of the hope that comes as a light in the darkness of our lives. Keep alive the flame of expectation in our daily lives, and may our working hands create change in this world to truly connect with the hope that your love brings us. St. Thomas Alive!

  • From Experience to Testimony Thematic Guidelines for Study and Discussion
    THE SYRO-MALANKARA CATHOLIC CHURCH THE FIRST MALANKARA CATHOLIC CHURCH ASSEMBLY TRIVANDRUM, 21-23 SEPTEMBER, 2011 FROM EXPERIENCE TO TESTIMONY THEMATIC GUIDELINES FOR STUDY AND DISCUSSION Dr. Abraham Mar Julios (Chairman, Core-committee) FOREWORD The Holy Episcopal Synod of the Syro-Malankara Church, had entrusted me with the task of preparing the Lineamenta or Guidelines for the First Malankara Church Assembly, to be held in September 2011. Evangelization was selected as Theme of the Assembly. A half-day consultation was done at Shantinilayam, Tiruvalla with a small Group of four people, consisting of Msgr. Antony Kackanatt, Sister Dr. Namita SIC, Mr. Jomi Thomas and me. The first draft of the Lineamenta was presented in Malayalam before the Episcopal Synod, in December 2010, and the Synod Fathers suggested, I should provide an English version as basic text, which could be translated also into Tamil, Kannada and Hindi. The Draft had to be reworked for theological correctness and systematic presentation. The Key Bible verse we have selected is Isaiah 6:8 “Lord, here I am! Send me”! The Leitmotiv is “From Experience to Testimony”. The Theme of the Assembly has to be discussed and prayed over by all the sections of the Malankara Church. The message has to be imbibed by the whole people of God and should percolate through the cross sections of the Church. The Eparchial Assemblies and the Church Assembly should motivate us to rededicate ourselves to the great cause of Announcing the Good News all over the world and winning souls for the Kingdom of God, and contributing to the growth of the Church.

  • The History of St. Thomas the Apostle the First Fifty Years
    The History of St. Thomas the Apostle The First Fifty Years The following is from a small book commemorating the 50th Anniversary of St. Thomas the Apostle. THE YEAR was 1902, the month was July, the day was the 9th. This date will never be forgotten as it was on this day that His Excellency, the Most Reverend John J. Monaghan, Bishop of the Diocese of Wilmington, had purchased the property, near Fourth Street and Grant Avenue, as the site for a new Catholic Church and initiated the erection thereon of a combined church and school to be named in honor of the patron saint of the first Bishop of Wilmington, Most Reverend Thomas A. Becker. The cornerstone was laid on May 24, 1903, by Bishop Monaghan, assisted by Vicar-General John A. Lyons and a large group of priests. The ceremonies began with a processional from the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor to a large wooden cross on the Church site where it was determined that the altar would be erected. After blessing this particular spot, the Bishop then consecrated and laid the cornerstone. Following this he blessed the foundation and then bestowed the Papal Blessing on all those present at the ceremony. The sermon was delivered by the Reverend Francis T. McCarthy, TOP – Original Church and School, now the old gym. S.J., while the musical program was under the direction of Professor BOTTOM – The brand new rectory in 1911. James Curran. On June 30, 1903, the Reverend John J. Connelly, then Chancellor of the Diocese and Assistant Pastor of Saint Paul's Church, was appointed as first Pastor of Saint Thomas.

Saint Silas was a respected figure in the original Church at Jerusalem, one of the “chief men among the brethren” (Acts 15:22). The Council of the Apostles was convened at Jerusalem in the year 51 to deal with the question of whether Gentile Christian converts should be required to observe the Mosaic Law. The Apostles sent a message with Paul and Barnabas to the Christians of Antioch, giving the decision of the Council that Christians of Gentile origin did not have to observe the prescriptions of the Mosaic Law. Nonetheless, they were told that they must refrain from partaking of foods offered to idols, from things strangled and from blood, to refrain from fornication (Acts 15:20-29). Together with Saints Paul and Barnabas, the Council of the Apostles sent Saints Silas and Jude to explain the message in greater detail, since they both were filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit.

  • Dear Saint Thomas the Apostle Catholic School Community, This Has Been an Interesting Week for Remembering the Saints. We Did N
    Dear Saint Thomas the Apostle Catholic School Community, This has been an interesting week for remembering the saints. We did not celebrate the Feast of the Archangels this year as it fell on Sunday. However, every day this week has been an obligatory memorial (Masses should be celebrated using the prayers for the saint)—St. Jerome, St. Therese of Lisieux, Guardian Angels, St. Theodore Guerin (Indiana’s saint), and St. Francis of Assisi—and tomorrow being the First Saturday of the month is a day to especially recognize and ask for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Let us not forget to implore the help of the holy men and women who have gone before us as well as seeking the prayers of the angels. These are prayers we should all learn and memorize. Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. Guardian Angel Prayer Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day, be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

It has been a great blessing these past few days to see so many people return to Sunday Mass with such joy and prayerful excitement. It’s nice to be able to preach from the pulpit to real people, to distribute Holy Communion without “hiding” in the Parking Garage, and to greet you all after Mass. I want to thank our Cathedral Staff and volunteers who have worked diligently to ensure that we would be ready for the first weekend of reopening. Like any first time execution of a plan, it wasn’t perfect, but it went quite smoothly and allowed for a wonderful weekend for the many who decided to come for Masses.
