Welcome to Saint Thomas of Bellflower

Discover a community that blends spiritual growth with cultural understanding through the Saint Thompson (La Purisima) Book Club. As a dedicated Bible Studies Leader and Ethnic Studies student, I invite you to join our group where we delve into the Good News Bible and explore key Ethnic Studies texts. This confraternity is a space to build meaningful relationships and broaden our perspectives through shared reading and discussion.

Our book club embodies the spirit of several local communities and landmarks, including Downey Calvary, St. Dominic, Historic Thompson Park, and the Flora Vista Dog Park. Our mission draws inspiration from the enduring legacy of the Mission San Gabriel Archangel, creating a unique blend of faith, fellowship, and intellectual curiosity.

A little about me: I'm a graduating senior for Classical Guitar and Ethnic Studies, and I'll be transferring to a university to pursue an Ethnomusicology major. I'm also a Compton Tartar/Coyote Commercial Music Alumni of 2024. If anyone has questions or advice on how to persevere through a community college institution, please feel free to reach out.

Come join us to connect with others and grow in your understanding of faith and culture!
