Dear Saint Thomas More,
As we embrace the beauty of October, we invite you to join us in a month dedicated to your commitment and service within our Jesuit community. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to reflect on our gifts of time, talent, and treasure and share them in meaningful ways.
Get Involved!
Throughout this month, we have a variety of activities and events designed for everyone—whether you can lend your time, share your talents, or contribute in other ways. Here’s how you can participate:
Volunteer: Explore opportunities to get involved in our ministries, groups, and activities. There are many ministries that need many hands to continue serving our community!
Workshops and Reflections: Engage in our faith formation sessions and other events to inspire and deepen your faith, knowledge, and connections with our community. Check out our latest E-Newsletter for more information.
Stewardship: Participate in Commitment October by prayerfully considering your fiscal support of our community. Whether you are a new donor or haven't recently adjusted your gift I ask you to review your current stewardship to our community.
If every household that is registered were to give $25 per week, this would help us reach our stewardship goal for the Fiscal Year. Currently, 414 registered households give in a trackable way through checks, electronic giving, or envelopes. If those 414 households gave at the same level it would be $55 per week.
I provide these numbers as a guide and ask that you consider increasing your stewardship contribution for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Increasing your commitment to Saint Thomas More helps us continue our mission of welcoming everyone wherever they are on their faith journey.
As you reflect on God’s many blessings, I invite you to respond however you feel called and to know of our deep appreciation for your commitment to Saint Thomas More. Your presence is our most treasured gift, and every contribution–whether that be by volunteering or by fiscal contribution–makes a difference.
Thank you for being a part of our parish family. We look forward to seeing you throughout this month of stewardship!
Gratefully yours in Christ,
Fr. R.J. Fichtinger, S.J.
Pastor
