St. Thomas the Apostle

The apostle who doubted the Resurrection until he touched the wounds of the Risen Christ. Tradition holds he brought Christianity to India, where the St. Thomas Christians trace their origins to him. He is the patron saint of India and architects.

Why it matters for your parish: A Feast day and the patron of India — Thomas speaks directly to every person who has struggled with doubt. His story is one of the most honest and human in all the Gospels.
