Fr. John Thomas has been pastor of SS Peter and Paul since 2003. A 1988 graduate of St. Pius X Seminary in Erlanger, Kentucky and Thomas More College, he majored in Elementary Education, with a focus in Theology and Philosophy. In August of 1988 he began his graduate work at Saint Meinrad Seminary in St. Meinrad, Indiana, graduating with a Master of Divinity in May 1993. Fr. John brings his honest style of worship to Hopkinsville and beautiful reverence for the Blessed Sacrament. Any time you enter the Mass with Fr. John celebrant, you will know the true presence of Christ in his servant. At any given time his sermons will move you to laugh, then cry, then worship of Jesus Christ, the King of Heaven, and friend to men.
