Knowing Each Other, Embrace Each Other
Fr. Peter’s Homilies Series “Knowing Each Other, Embrace Each Other.” was an invitation to the St. Thomas community to break down barriers and build bridges. His inspiring words reminded parishioners of the importance of reaching out to others within the community.
Andy and Saji were two regular St. Thomas churchgoers who had never met before in person. On Saturday after Mass, they attended a Homily Series reception with their families in the Gathering area. While enjoying refreshments, Andy greeted Saji and his family in Hindi, a language he had picked up while working in India. Slightly surprised, they asked Andy what part of India he visited and as it turned out they discovered they both work for the same Company for over 15 years. In fact, they had both exchanged e-mails a few months ago, and they laughed about how small the world is. Their families look forward to meeting again and each was amused at how we are all more connected than we may realize.
St. Thomas became a place of warmth and welcome, where all were encouraged to reach out to others and build meaningful connections.
