St. Thomas Aquinas Young Adults

⚠️2:42 SIGN UPS ARE LIVE⚠️

Sign ups for this retreat fill up FAST!! Last year we closed sign ups at 75 young adults, how cool would it be to have 100 young adults attend this year?!

What is this retreat?
The 2:42 retreat is a weekend retreat based off of Acts 2:42 at the Pines Catholic Camp out in Big Sandy Tx! The retreat takes place over Labor Day weekend, Aug 30 - Sep 1st. We will have talks, camp activities and games, formation, community building, and so much more!!

sign up for this retreat while spots last🏃🏽🏃🏽‍♀️

The 2:42 Retreat If you can’t make the bus, here is the address for The Pines. We ask that you please reach out to both us and The Pines to tell us your arrival times for Friday.

You’re invited to join us tonight, April 9th, from 7-8:30pm in the church for Pange Lingua!

Pange Lingua is a time of worship with Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

This night of worship is open to anyone including but not limited to families, youth, and young adults of the parish. It is a gift for us to gather as one Church and specifically pray for our parish community, marriages, youth and young adults, leaders, vocations to the priesthood and religious life from our parish, and for those people in our parish boundaries that do not know Jesus Christ as Lord.

The night will include music, meditation, silence, confession, Exposition, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Everyone is welcome🤍
