Thomas News

Thomas News is our parish magazine. It began in 1993 and has covered a wide range of people and stories, giving insights into the life and people of the parish. It is published by the parish twice a year, at Easter and Christmas. Over the years there have been a number of different editors, who with the assistance of the Parish Priest and some editorial help from volunteers, have collected and put together the contents. The current editor is Valerie Jackson.
