St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church

God gives us so many opportunities to know and see Him. Through our participation in the sacraments – our time spent in prayer – and even in the help we give to those in need around us, we can come to more closely know the Father Who wants us to be in Heaven with Him. 

The theme for our Diocese of Rockford 2023 Appeal is “Know Him, See Him.” This is inspired by John 14:1-12, when Jesus says to Thomas, “If you know Me, then you will also know My Father.  From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Your commitment to share faith through your resources makes it possible for the Diocese of Rockford to carry on the work of Jesus in a world that desperately needs our witness. Your gift supports the Diocesan Life Office, Youth Ministry/R.E. Offices, Retired Priests, Vocations Office, Catholic Charities, Lay Ministry Formation, Deaf Apostolate, Hispanic Ministry, etc.

Diocesan Annual Appeal will be held at all the Masses on May 6 and 7. Our 2023 target amount is $214,000.00. With your help we can attain this goal. Please bring your pledge envelope you will receive in the mail to Church the weekend of May 6 and 7. Envelopes will be in the pews as well.
