Please volunteer your time for these important events, for the future of St. Thomas!!  Please contact Stacey Zahoranski if you are interested in helping with either event!  Call Stacey at 330-819-0486 cell phone or Stacey.zahoranski@wfadvisors.com.
• E-mail addresses, cell phone numbers and other updated contact information is needed: The Board is working on an updated membership and 'friends of the parish' directory. We are mostly seeking out e-mail addresses from everyone, so that we can communicate with parish family members more frequently and more efficiently!  Please see a Board Member to give your e-mail address and updated contact information, if you haven't done so already.
