Join St. Thomas’ Revelation & Discernment Ministry as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month on Sunday, September 27.
Father Samuel will preach at both the 8:15 and 10:15 a.m. services. Between services, he will facilitate a special conversation exploring Hispanic and Latino heritage, faith, and community. Everyone is warmly invited to participate.
As part of our celebration, we invite members of our St. Thomas family with Hispanic or Latino heritage to create a storyboard sharing something of their family, culture, traditions, history, or faith journey. These personal stories have become a meaningful part of our Revelation & Discernment gatherings and offer us an opportunity to learn from and celebrate one another.
And, of course, there will be food! Everyone is invited to bring a favorite dish inspired by the foods and traditions of Latin America or the Spanish-speaking world to share. Homemade or store-bought—just bring something you enjoy!
Come listen, learn, share, eat, and celebrate the rich cultures and stories within our St. Thomas community.
