Parish Council 

The Parish Council represents the St. Thomas Aquinas Community and advises the pastor in teaching, prayer, community and sacraments so that people are empowered to fulfill Christ’s mission.  The term of service for all members is three years and is limited to two consecutive terms. However, members who are officers (president, vice-president, and secretary) serve two years in the officer role with an additional year as a regular member.

Contact: Patrick Price, President

Please call the parish office at 317-253-1461 for email or phone contact information of any other parish council member.
