St. Thomas More Catholic Church
Founded July 1962

Replace and Repair Project.





 1.    The church is closed for the replace and repair project. The estimated completion date is March 9, 2019.

2.   Rehkopf Gym has been set up for masses. We had our first Sunday mass at our former church the Old gym "Rehkopf" on Sunday January 27.  Thank you to all who have made this transition smooth from the church to the Gym. We are so appreciated for all your help and prayers. 

St. Thomas families you all are so great!
  
3.   Remember that All masses will take place in Rehkopf Gym during repairs. We might not have the best sound system, best seats, but the most important is the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist.  

4.   From now thru February 24, 2019. The following tasks will take place:

1.     Contractors have started to set new tile.
2.     · Repair of the sliding glass doors have begun.
3.     · Repairing of the burned ceiling light have begun and started changing to LED lights
4.    · Replace label microphones (FCC ordered 600mhz system is no longer allowed ) 

5.   From February 25, 2019 thru March 9, 2019 the installation of new pews will take place.

We are very grateful to those of you who continue to support the parish with your time, talent and treasure, especially during the inconveniences experienced during repairs.

Once again, please keep us, the construction workers, and this project in your prayers!

From Fr. Hai, Fr. Joseph, and the entire Parish Staff, Thank You! 

It is not easy to make repairs but it is a necesity to make updates and make our santuary more beautiful.

Prayer for Healing Victims of Abuse  

God of endless love, ever caring, ever strong, always present, always just: You gave your only Son to save us by the blood of his cross. Gentle Jesus, the shepherd of peace, join to your own suffering the pain of all who have been hurt in body, mind, and spirit by those who betrayed the trust placed in them. Hear our cries as we agonize over the harm done to our brothers and sisters. Breathe wisdom into our prayers, soothe restless hearts with hope, steady shaken spirits with faith: Show us the way to justice and wholeness, enlightened by truth and enfolded in your mercy. Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts, heal your people’s wounds and transform our brokenness. Grant us courage and wisdom, humility and grace, so that we may act with justice and find peace in you. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen
