Help Needed at PADS This Summer
St. Thomas has been asked to supply volunteers for two Saturday evenings – August 9 and September 20. As usual, we will be working three hour shifts from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am. You can also volunteer to bring the evening meal for our Saturdays. Often this is provided by the volunteers working the 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm shift but you can volunteer to do the meal only. If you are able to help, please contact Diana Fernandes, 815.232.0978, or the Church office, 815.232.3225.

Your Parish Needs Your Help
There has been an increase in the number of parishioners who are requesting Holy Communion be brought to them. These parishioners, due to illness, injury or age, are confined to their home or other facilities. We need parishioners to volunteer to bring them Communion. It takes very little time and you will undoubtedly enjoy the visits. Deacon Don Brunette can give you all the information you may want to know; 815.232.4026.
