ST. THOMAS PARISH PHOTO DIRECTORY Due to recent inquiries and input from various St. Thomas Aquinas parishioners, Fr. Tom has requested that the pastoral council look into available options for creating an updated version of our parish directo-ry. It has been six years since our last directory and the prospect of a new directory is a welcome endeavor. As some of you may recall, the last undertaking to produce a directory was fraught with difficulties; in the end, many parishioners did not even receive a copy. During a discussion of the topic at a recent pastoral council meeting the talent and abilities of our own parish com-munity were highlighted. Perhaps the new parish directory is an under-taking that could be performed by our own parish community? If anyone reading this announcement has any thoughts, insights, suggestions, or are interested in investing their time or talent on this project, please contact Fr. Tom or any of our current pastoral council members.

ST. DIRECTORIO FOTOGRÁFICO DE LA PARROQUIA DE THOMAS
Debido a las recientes investigaciones y aportes de varios feligreses de Santo Tomás de Aquino, Tom ha pedido que el consejo pastoral examine las opciones disponibles para crear una versión actualizada de nuestro directorio parroquial. Han pasado seis años desde nues-tro último directorio y la perspectiva de un nuevo directorio es un esfuerzo bienvenido. Como algunos de ustedes recordarán, la última El directorio estaba plagado de dificultades; Al final, muchos parroquianos ni siquiera recibieron una copia. Durante una discusión del tema en una reunión reciente del consejo pastoral, se destacó el talento y las habilidades de nuestra propia comunidad parroquial. Tal vez el nuevo directorio de la parroquia sea una empresa que podría ser realizada por nues-tra propia parroquia ¿comunidad? Si alguien que lee este anuncio tiene ideas, ideas, sugerencias o está interesado en invertir su tiem-po o talento en este proyecto, póngase en contacto con Fr. Tom o cualquiera de nuestros actuales miembros del consejo Father Tom 646-4338 x 105 Father Fernando 646-4338 x 103 Carlos Herrera 421-7854 Dick Sebek 646-7503 Michael Shields 640-8776 Punky Soares 646-6626 Avelina Villares 889-9341 Barbara Vize 525-7259 Juan Calderon 798-5568 Alicia Ragg 818-693-9614
