Parish Life
An Appointment With God

Together In Prayer: For Our Ministries and People of God

In a world filled with voices not our own
we can be pulled apart and forget that which
must never be forgotten:

Then, because so many people were coming and
going that they did not even have a chance
to eat, Jesus said to them, ‘Come with Me by
yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’ (Mk 6:31)

Soon you will have the opportunity to join us for
an evening of Prayer, Chant and Quiet Meditation
as we find our rest here in the Church and in adoring
Christ, find ourselves.

On Friday, September 24th from 6:30-8:30pm

The Catholic Journey

Join Us For RCIA (The Rite of Christi an Initiation of Adults)

Each year men and women embark on an exploration of the Catholic faith.

When: Monday Evenings, 7:30-9:00pm
Beginning: August 30, 2010
Continues: Through Easter & Pentecost
What: Exploring The Catholic Faith
Who: Non-Catholics & Catholics Together

Purificators

St. Thomas More is in need of purificators. These are the people

Many souls find comfort at the Grotto of
Our Lady by the lake at STM.

The traditional practice of lighting a candle, offering a prayer and appealing through the Company of Saints for divine assistance in the hour of deepest need is
a profoundly Catholic confidence that God is moved to mercy by the simplest human act. Located next to the Grotto, MY BLESSING LIGHT dispenses candles of various colors, qualities and duration for modest fees.
