St. Thomas More Catholic Church
 

Synod Prayer

We stand before You, Holy Spirit,
as we gather together in Your name.
With You alone to guide us,
make Yourself at home in our hearts;
Teach us the way we must go
and how we are to pursue it.
We are weak and sinful;
do not let us promote disorder.
Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path
nor partiality influence our actions.
Let us find in You our unity
so that we may journey together to eternal life
and not stray from the way of truth and what is right.
All this we ask of You,
who are at work in every place and time,
in the communion of the Father and the Son,
forever and ever. Amen.
 

Advent Giving Tree

The Advent Giving Tree is a St. Thomas More Advent tradition. The support of our parish is needed for the women and children of Lurana Shelter, a refuge for those fleeing from family violence.
Take one of the stars and angels from the Giving Tree with a needed item or refer to the posted list of items beside the tree and on the parish website (Giving Tree Items Requested 2023).  All items must be new, not promoting violence, and unwrapped.  Drop off your gifts by the Giving Tree located in the gathering space of the church during Advent (from Dec. 2 to Dec. 17). Giving gift cards is strongly encouraged (suggested maximum amount per card is $50) and, if purchased from the Knights of Columbus, results in double giving.
The Catholic Women’s League is coordinating this project once again and thanks all for their support.
