Description
St. Thomas the Apostle parish was established in 1856 by Father Patrick McMahon. From that meager beginning, the parish has flourished and has become the second largest parish in the Rockford, IL. diocese. The parish offices and rectory are located on Pierson and King Streets in Crystal Lake. About a mile away from there, are located the main church and community center. The parish also has a second church on Pierson Street and boasts an active and welcome Catholic School. The school serves the St. Thomas and Elizabeth Ann Seton parishes with an outstanding elementary Catholic education. The parish is diverse in culture and boasts numerous service and fraternal organizations. Participation in all of the parish activities is overwhelming and is cause for celebration.
We are a Catholic family, living our awareness of Christ's presence through worship, service, evangelization and community for the benefit of all.
