QUAD: "Has anyone asked you if you have a personal relationship with Jesus?"
Whether the answer to that question is yes or no, it’s very likely that you either want to grow in that relationship or want to know what it means. As we approach the season of Lent, consider becoming part of a proven, life-changing method of spiritual growth developed by Steubenville University, known as a Discipleship Quad.
A Quad is a small group of the same gender, who journey together as disciples through weekly gatherings of fellowship, ongoing conversion, learning together, praying together, and growing in faith together. This is a completely free, guided program.
St. Thomas will be preparing to launch the Steubenville Discipleship Quad program at the start of this coming Lent, so Quads need to be formed now, we urge everyone in our parish — all ages and walks of life — to enlist in this amazing, faith-building experience. Please click here to get more information or to register: QUAD
In this very busy and complicated world, a Discipleship Quad is a sure way to deepen your relationship with our Lord. We urge you not to miss this wonderful opportunity.

Tyna Youngblood…..and all others in our parish and community who are in need of healing, physical or spiritual.
All of the requests for prayers remain on our list for four weeks. If notified, we will extend the time frame.
Names appearing on the Prayer list come from hospital visitation lists; also, from telephone calls made to the Parish Office. We are aware that there are many others in the parish and community who are suffering and, therefore, we ask those who are praying to include “and all in our parish and community who are in need of healing, physical or spiritual”. We regret that space does not allow us to list the names of each and everyone in the bulletin each week.
