Additional observations St. Thomas the Apostle is a historic parish in the Diocese of Boise, Idaho. It was established in 1890 to serve the miners and loggers of the area; the church building itself was completed in 1910. It is among the most beautiful churches in Idaho, with colorful stained glass windows, traditional art, archways, a high steeple and high exterior walls. There is an ongoing remodel of the St. Thomas Mission House on the parish grounds, so you may see construction going on when you visit the parish. It’s also a short walk to the downtown resort area.
