The parish has existed since 1902, when the first Saint Thomas church and school was built at the corner of Tremont Avenue and Grand Avenue, a few blocks west of the present church. The first building on the present site, which presently forms the nucleus of St. Thomas Catholic School, was built as a combination church and school in 1920-22 The church features a limestone exterior, a latin cross-shaped footprint with gable ends with gable parapets, a high central nave and lower aisles with shed roofs, roman arched stained glass windows, a front rose window, entry doors with blind arches above featuring decorative reliefs, a front door inside an arched portal with decorative carved stone details and an arched stone relief panel above the door, a blind arched arcade with doric pilasters above the front rose window flanking a central arched niche with a sculpture of Saint Thomas in the middle of the facade, a corner bell tower with a square footprint, pyramidal hipped roof, copper cross atop the roof, and arched louvers, and a semi-circular rear apse. The church today has several additional parish buildings around it, including the buildings of the St. Thomas Catholic School, built in multiple stages between 1920 and the 1960s, a rectory, built in the mid-20th Century, and the Providence Center, also built in the mid-20th Century.
