Since its early beginning as Open Air Chapel, St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church at Canyon Lake first served vacationers and tourists, then a large community of retirees. Now, as the population grows, young families are seeking the more peaceful life in the Hill Country. We are mindful of the early founders, living and deceased, who sacrificed to make this a place of service to Catholics and the whole surrounding community. We want everyone to feel a sense of belonging and divine call each of us has to live joyfully in the presence of God. -- Msrgr. Marvin Doerfler
