St. Thomas the Apostle is a Roman Catholic church in Norwalk, Connecticut, part of the Diocese of Bridgeport.^[1] The Parish of St. Thomas the Apostle was established in 1935.

Buildings

The present church built in the late 1940s. The architect was Edward F. Allodi of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a graduate of the Columbia University School of Architecture. Allodi's Romanesque Revival building is remarkable for its time period as appears as though it could have been built 20 years earlier.

History

The former Reverend Charles Carr was a priest at the parish. He was defrocked in 2002 as one of six priests accused and found guilty in the Bridgeport diocese sex-abuse case. ^[2] In 2010 the Reverend Robert J. Crofut received the second annual John Swanhaus Award from the Order of Malta in an event hosted by Charles Grodin.^[3]
