STM Capital Campaign:
This Holy Place: Renewing and Restoring

As Saint Thomas More celebrates 100 years in its sacred sanctuary, we are called to honor the faith and generosity that built this holy place and to prepare it for the next century of worship and service. Rooted in our Jesuit mission and inspired by Ignatian spirituality, this capital campaign seeks to preserve and renew what has been entrusted to us by restoring the church exterior and modernizing critical infrastructure at Saint Thomas More Catholic School. These essential investments ensure that our parish and school remain places where faith is formed, community is strengthened, and God’s glory is revealed for generations to come.
