St. Thomas Catholic Church is pleased to announce the hosting of a traditional St. Joseph's Altar at the St. Thomas Catholic Church Community Center on March 19, 2025. This deeply revered celebration honors St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, and is a cherished tradition among many Catholic communities, especially those of Sicilian descent. There were many Sicilians who settled, from the 1880's to 1920's, to support the Truck Farming industry in the new City of Long Beach, Mississippi, which was established in 1905.
