St. Thomas More Parish News
Christ became obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.
PASTOR'S MEMO
Dear Friends in Christ,
This Sunday is Palm Sunday, which marks the beginning of Holy Week. Please take a look at the Holy Week Schedule below, and please consider to coming to some of these liturgical events. If you have never experienced the Easter Vigil, it really is a beautiful liturgy and I encourage you to attend! Also, please note the remaining confession times.
This Saturday is our School Gala. For those of you who cannot attend, you can bid on some great online auction items! The proceeds from the gala help fund the mission of our school, which is to evangelize our children and their families. You can check out the items here: Qtego
God bless,
Fr. Clark
