Beloved parish family of St. Thomas,

As we begin a new stage in our life, we want to thank you all for what you have meant to us during these past four years. When we came to Glassboro in 2019, we had no way of knowing we would weather a pandemic with you — worshiping online and then outdoors in all weather, or wearing masks in order to be able to meet safely in one place. We are so grateful we have had you in our lives. We’re moving to Florence in Burlington County — not so very far away, so we hope to see you again from time to time. For the rest of the time, please know we will be thinking of you often!

In love,
Jonathan W. and Dani A.
