FEAST OF ST. THOMAS
Today in the Church

On the Church calendar today, July 3, the first Saturday, is the feast of St. Thomas. But for me this date will forever mark a sad occasion, the passing of my Aunt Nora.

The reading at Mass is from Ephesians (2:19-22):

Brothers and sisters: You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

For those playing with the home game, today’s Gospel reading is John 20:24-29.
