St. Thomas the Apostle Parish was founded in 1816.
The original church was completed in 1817 and still stands on East Street next to the original cemetery. In 1833 a larger second church was built across the street to accommodate the growing population. It also proved inadequate in size and so the present St. Thomas Church was built in 1868. The original church, or "little church", as parishioners lovingly refer to it, was restored and declared a Community Shrine in October of 1958.
The present church located at the intersection of East Penn and South Richard Streets bears the inscription "Built A.D. 1868 By Very Rev. Thos. Heyden, D.D.". Father Heyden's remains repose in St. Thomas' "old cemetery" very near to the original church.
