Digital Discipleship-
While we had all been restricted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our newest ministry has flourished by bringing our liturgy to anyone with an internet connection via live streaming. Volunteers will be trained in setting up and streaming our mass from our campus. Strict Covid-19 protocols will be followed to ensure everyone's safety. Please contact Geoff Clark-Tosca at geoffreyclarktosca@gmail.com
Altar Guild-
The Altar Guild of Saint Thomas is responsible for preparing the Church for the weekly Masses. Activites include washing of linens, replacing votives, preparing the Altar for the Mass, general cleaning of the Sanctuary and Nave and ordering supplies. Please contact Parish Administrator Joseph Warren at admin@saintthomashollywood.org
Lectors-
Most parishes have only a handful of lay people who read for their services. Saint Thomas Hollywood has many. We regard reading this an important ministry. At the Sunday celebrations of the Mass, both lessons and the Psalm are never omitted and readers assist at many of the other services. Please contact Parish Administrator Joseph Warren at admin@saintthomashollywood.org
Hospitality Group-
Please join us in the offering of a warm welcome by giving just a little of your time by cooking or assisting in the setting up of one of our events. This is a fun way to get to know others!
There are three ways to sponsor a Coffee Hour. No matter which you choose it’s a wonderful way to support Parish Fellowship or to honor an important date in your life. You can also buddy-up with somebody and share the work/cost! Please contact Parish Administrator Joseph Warren at admin@saintthomashollywood.org
Acolytes-
The Acolyte ministry at St. Thomas the Apostle Hollywood is open to all baptized Christians, regular in attendance, who are deemed to serve at the Altar of God. Please contact Parish Administrator Joseph Warren at admin@saintthomashollywood.org
Lay Eucharist Visitors-
Lay Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs) administer Holy Communion during weekly Masses. Lay Eucharistic Visitors (LEVs) make visits to those who are homebound or hospitalized with illnesses. Parish training is required for LEMs; Diocesan training and licensing is required for LEVs. Please contact Parish Administrator Joseph Warren at admin@saintthomashollywood.org
