Update from the Parish Manager

I am happy to report together that, with your support, we have accomplished many great things here at St. Thomas More in the past year. With the Church and Parish Office nearing 17 years old, many repairs and improvements are now necessary to keep the parish operating.

This past year, improvements to our facilities include the following:

• Extensive repair to the Church Air Conditioning and controls
• New Roof on the Parish Hall
• Major repairs to Hall and Church doors
• Major upgrade and improvements to lighting in the courtyard and parking lot
• Finalized the building and opening of the Pope Francis Center
• Complete overhaul to the irrigation of the existing landscape
• Purchase of a new Rectory
• Resealing of all skylights and windows in the Church

Here are a few of the many projects coming in the future:

• The church A/C continues to become obsolete, and a major upgrade to that system will be needed in the near future
• Lighting in the church and chapel is now in need of repair
• The newly purchased Rectory requires minor updating
• Church Furnishings (pews and kneelers) require repair
• The Church ceiling requires a thorough cleaning

We are very excited about a major overhaul of the Parish Website which will soon be unveiled. Its purpose is to provide a welcoming format to those seeking a community as well as bring you current information.

Thank you to all who contribute to the needs of the parish so that we are able to address these issues and those yet unforeseen.
