Stations of the Cross
Fr. Christian Mathis | February 27, 2009
This evening at St. Thomas we did something new when we gathered to pray the stations of the cross. There is a long tradition of coming together on the Fridays of Lent to pray these traditional prayers, but tonight we added something new.

Faith Comes By Hearing
Fr. Christian Mathis | February 26, 2009

Fr. Christian Mathis | February 18, 2009

Getting In Tune
Fr. Christian Mathis | February 16, 2009
Some of the best advice ever given me has to do with maintaining an automobile. Change the oil and air filter, check the tire pressure often, get regular tune ups. While I am certainly not always at the top of my game when it comes to cars, I don’t do poorly either. In fact, after [...]
