    It's that time of year again !!
    This is an  enormous  project and every year the parish rises to the   occasion.  St. Thomas  Aquinas  families and  parishioners share their generosity with many people in  Fairfield and  Bridgeport.
If anyone would like to “adopt a family” and purchase gifts for a family please e-mail.  stthomasfairfieldyouth@gmail.com

    Please take tags from the trees at the entrances of the parish and bring the item back, unwrapped, by the date on the tag. If you return your gift during the week, please bring it to the Parish  Office where it will be secure. If you return your gift after a weekend Mass, please bring it to the boxes in the Church.
 If you are available to help deliver items to           Bridgeport  please contact 
Jessica at stthomasfairfieldyouth@ gmail.com .
