During this season of coronavirus infections, we love others as Jesus loves us by following a simple guideline: Those not fully vaccinated against Covid-19 must wear a mask and practice social distancing while on church grounds. Masks are optional for those who have been fully vaccinated.

From Kathy Iannacone: As many of you know, I present scholarships in Chuck’s memory at GHS (where he taught for many years) and at WHS (the district where he was an administrator). During the pandemic, I realized that the seniors had missed so much, so I doubled it to two scholarships at each school for the past two years. Thanks to our St. Thomas family members who attend my yearly fundraiser which enables these scholarships. I’m very proud to announce the following recipients of the Charles D. Folker Memorial Foundation scholarships:

• GHS: Hannah Sheffield, Julianna Menna
• WHS: Jake Helsel, Kiley Seitzinger

When Chuck retired, the MTEA created an award, the Charles Folker Citizenship Award. After we lost him, I decided to commemorate this award with a perpetual trophy which is engraved yearly, adding the name of the new recipient, which remains on display in WMS. I also present the recipient with a smaller trophy as a keepsake. This year’s recipient is: Ruth Oke. Congratulations to these outstanding young adults!

Announcements for the parish email are due via email by noon on Wednesday of each week. You can email them to announcements@stthomasglassboro.org
