However, if our Parish Hall is available and the kitchen ladies can provide enough people to put lunch on, St. Thomas is happy to host and provide the luncheon here at the church. It is $5\/person.&nbsp;Please reference the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/Funeral-Planning-Guide-STATEMENT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Funeral Guide<\/strong><\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Contacts for St. Thomas Clergy &amp; Staff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fr.
