“I can’t breathe.” George Floyd’s final words haunt us, horrify us, as he was senselessly suffocated to death.

Dear parishioners and friends of St. Thomas More:
HAPPY EASTER! I hope you are healthy and safe.
I am very encouraged by how our parish family continues to live our faith and celebrate the Holy Spirit during this unique time. I hope you have been able to participate in our livestream masses and check also in our website our Holy Week services.
COVID-19 has posed many challenges to our parish, including offertory funds lost due to the suspension of Mass. Your offertory gifts support salaries of parish staff members, your priests, programs and ministries, maintenance of our buildings and grounds, and many other vital components of our parish life.
I ask you to continue financially supporting our parish during this time. (more…)
