HomeSt. Thomas Aquinas is a Catholic parish located in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Established in 1858, the parish was named after St. Thomas Aquinas, the patron of Catholic schools, reflecting the nearby Normal School and the Dominican heritage of Fr. Aaron L. Roche, who played a pivotal role in its founding. The community persevered through challenges, including hostility during the church’s construction, which was largely carried out by parishioners. The parish’s mission is "to be a welcoming community of believers continually growing in our faith and in our love of Jesus Christ through worship, education, evangelization and service within our local and broader community."
