St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church

About this church

Weekend Mass at the Camas parish begins at 5 p.m. Saturday and 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Weekday Mass is Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 6 p.m. Reconciliation is offered immediately before those recurring services: Wednesday from 5 to 5:45, Saturday from 4 to 4:45, and Sunday from 7:30 to 8:15 a.m. Confessions take place in the reconciliation room in the vestibule, and private appointments can be arranged through the office. The Adoration Chapel is available around the clock except during Mass, with a door code required outside open church hours.

Catholic life in the Camas area reaches back to a mission church built near Lacamas Lake in 1881, when difficult winter roads sometimes required worshipers to travel on foot or horseback for monthly Mass. The present parish offers faith formation for children, teens, and adults. Children's classes for the 2026–27 year begin Sunday at 9:45 a.m. and complement parents' role as primary faith educators; adult options include OCIA, Confirmation, First Reconciliation, and First Eucharist preparation. The church's formation language connects learning about Jesus with discipleship and mission. A practical family Sunday begins with the 8:30 Mass and can continue into the 9:45 formation hour during the academic year. Visitors using the chapel after hours should contact the parish for access instructions rather than assuming the church doors remain unlocked.
