La Pieta
Dec 2, 2011
On December 10th and 11th we will welcome back to St. Thomas the Apostle your former pastor Bishop James S. Wall of the Diocese of Gallup, NM. He was ordained for the Diocese of Phoenix in 1998 and served as the pastor of St. Thomas from 2002 - 2007.
Bishop Wall will preach all of the Sunday Masses and will be the principal celebrant of the 5:00 PM Saturday Mass and the 11:00 AM Sunday Mass. He will be sharing with us some of the blessings and challenges he faces as Bishop of the poorest diocese in the United States.
Following the Saturday evening Mass we will also have a reception for Bishop Wall in the parish hall. Please know that everyone is welcome to attend this reception to greet the Bishop and share in some refreshments.
In Christ,
Fr. Ehrich

Good News! Bishop Wall's rosaries have arrived and

his priests are making these gorgeous rosaries to sell

their school. Do come in and explore and think about
a Bishop Wall gemstone rosary for that special gift.
A few "Let There Be Dragons" has arrived. This video
is the story of Josemaria Escriva. Free handouts are
available in the Gift Shop. Escriva wrote "The Way"
