What's Up at St TM?

The Wardens met this past week with Father Raymond Lafontaine, who is our interim Parochial Administrator.

We will keep all the parishioners informed of the ongoings at the parish as we move forward.  A meeting between the Administrators and Wardens of both St Thomas More and St Willibrord will be organized in the coming weeks, as well as a Parishioners' Meeting at St Thomas More towards the end of the summer.

The Financial Report for the first third of 2023 was approved at the most recent Wardens' meeting.

Presently, the most pressing information to highlight immediately is that our financial situation remains in dire straits. 

From January 1st 2023 to April 30th 2023, our Regular Offerings* totaled $21 589, while our Expenses totaled $69 913.

*Regular Offerings are comprised of the weekly Sunday collections, monthly maintenance collections, and the Easter collection.

The Month of Mary

In the Catholic Church, the month of May is dedicated to Mother Mary.  Discover How to Celebrate Our Blessed Mother This Month with Father Mark-Mary of the Franciscan Friars of Renewal.

From the Cross, Jesus himself gave Mary and her motherhood as a gift to the Church.  He entrusted us to her maternal protection and love, and her to our filial honor right before his death:
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
John 19:26-27

In the Blessed Mother we have the greatest example of faith, hope, and love to follow as we journey towards Heaven. 

Holy Mary, our hope and handmaid of the Lord, pray for us!
