Welcome to St. Thomas the Apostle Roman Catholic Church in Riverside!

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:17

As we strengthen our bonds of communion, we remember the words of Pope Francis who remarked that the parish is really in contact with the homes and lives of its people, and does not become a useless structure out of touch with people or a self-absorbed group made up of a chosen few”(The Joy of the Gospel). May this website connect us with one another as we exert efforts to make our church even more useful, relevant, and meaningful entity in this digital world.

Together, let us respond to the call for renewal of ties and connectedness of spirit. Let us make our parish an environment of living communion, a sanctuary where the tired can get nourishment, a refuge for those in need of spiritual strength, a sanctuary to worship with grateful hearts, a sacred place that reminds us of God’s presence, and a center that we, as a family, can claim as our home.

St. Thomas the Apostle, pray for us!

Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Supporting our Mission by Online Giving

A big “thank you” to all of those participating in online giving with WeShare! Online giving has been a big help to our parish. St. Thomas the Apostle has received more consistent donations and has allowed us to re-prioritize office tasks. WeShare saves the administrative staff valuable time with its ability to accept credit and debit cards and to make automatic withdrawals from checking and savings accounts. This means more time to serve you and our mission as parish.

No matter how you give, your gifts are always appreciated! If you have not yet made the switch to online giving, we invite you to consider doing so. Online giving offers our parish a stable, sustainable future. We know that you share in this vision and we’re excited about giving our parishioners many ways to participate in our growth as a parish family. Thank you for your support!
