Annual
Diocesan
Appeal
You are warmly invited to the 2026 St Thomas Progressive Dinner & Auction, an evening of delicious food, dancing, and fellowship in support of our school and parish community.
On Saturday, November 14, we will gather in parish homes for dinner and then come together at the Country Club of Peoria for desserts, a live auction, and music.
Your presence will help strengthen St Thomas School counseling services and our church roof project, and we would be honored to share this special night with you.
