IN MEMORIAM

At St. Thomas traditions are valued like the character of the men who emerge from the halls of 4500 Memorial Dr. We honor them, tell stories of the past we remember and endeavor to ensure that those traditions continue for generations to come.

Whether you would like to give a gift to honor a dear friend or someone you admired, or offer a monetary gift in memory of loved one at their passing, at St. Thomas we know these types of gifts are not just about the moment of giving, but about the memories of a lifetime.

In Memory of Our Alumni

During November the Church remembers its deceased members in a special way. In St. Thomas tradition, we will offer prayers for our deceased alumni throughout our Masses in the month of November and their names will be entered into the Book of Remembrance located in the St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel. Deceased alumni from the past year will be remembered by name during the Father-Son mass. Listed below are our Eagle brothers who have passed away in the past year. If we are missing an alumnus who has passed in the last year please here to make a submission.
