Ellwood House Extension Update – July 2026

Tuesday June 16, we celebrated the official groundbreaking for the Ellwood House Extension. The weather was perfect as politicians gave short speeches, and community representatives, clergy and faith leaders, residents of Ellwood House, and St. Thomas parishioners were among those on hand for the blessing of the ground by our Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Kathyrn Otley. The 38 new units of affordable housing for Seniors that are being built will be a wonderful addition to our vibrant campus. “As Jim Colizza (architect for EH and EHX) has pointed out, it’s more than a campus, it’s a village,” said our incumbent, the Rev. Tim Kehoe, at the ceremony. St. Thomas’ desire is to serve as the hands of Christ, and we express our faith through working with community partners to serve the community. Building the extension to Ellwood House demonstrates what is possible when people unite around a shared vision of the common good.
