Title
St Thomas Bus Stop Advertisement
Description
This photo is a bus stop advertisement, taken sometime in the early 1980's, advertising the church. The bus stop ad has the address, phone number, mass times, and the services that it offers. This photo highlights the diversity that is present within the community of the church. This is shown by the tagline "Mass in 4 languages" and showing the different times in the different languages for mass. The different cultures present in the Uptown area were not only acknowledged but celebrated, and much of the church revolved around how diverse the Church was. It was a place where everyone was welcome and no one was turned away.
