“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” – Hebrews 13:2
At St. Thomas’ Parish, our strong commitment to welcoming all guides our outreach and justice work. Activities and projects that engage our parishioners include:
- Samaritan Ministry: St. Thomas’ has a longstanding relationship with this organization, which focuses on supporting homeless and vulnerable individuals as they seek employment and take the next step toward independence.
- Christ House: St. Thomas’ parishioners are regular kitchen volunteers at this residential shelter for homeless men in need of medical care.
- Refugee Welcome: In recent years, we have partnered with organizations such as Sponsor Circles and Rainbow Railroad to offer support to newly arrived refugees, helping orient them to their new lives in the United States.
We are also home to the the Bishop Gene Robinson Endowment for Community Outreach, a fund established in the fall of 2023 to commemorate the ministry and legacy of our Bishop-in-Residence on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood and 20th anniversary of his consecration as a bishop.
