St. Thomas Church is a Catholic parish church of the Archdiocese of Louisville located in Bardstown, Kentucky, United States. A seminary, the first Catholic seminary on the American frontier, moved to the Howard–Flaget House on the church property in 1795 and continued to operate there until 1869. The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth were founded at the church in 1812. The parish church was established in 1806, and the current Neo-Gothic brick church was completed in 1816. The present church was designed by Maximilian Godefroy and modeled off of St. Mary's Seminary Chapel in Baltimore, Maryland. The church and other historic buildings on the property were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
