Piles of toothpaste, toothbrushes, bar soap and shampoo filled more than 6 tables in Slattery Hall on May 21st as volunteers sorted and packed up over 20 boxes of toiletries to distribute to local service agencies – Dimitri House, Sojourner House, Bethany House, St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality, Willow Domestic Violence Center, House of Mercy and Mary’s Place.   Thanks to all who donated these everyday supplies that we may take for granted but are sometimes beyond the reach of others in the community.   In the words of the Executive Director of one of the agencies, “Your support plays an essential role in helping our residents transition successfully to permanent housing. … Thank you again for your compassionate generosity.”

Vacation Bible Camp 2019 August 19th - 23rd 9:00 am - 12:00 pm OLQP

This Lent, Connor Doran, our organist and choral director at St. Thomas More, led us through a musical Lenten reflection called Tenebrae to help deepen our Lenten journey. We were able to record the reflection and are happy to be able to share the video with you here! Tenebrae: A Lenten Reflection

The words “Can you Drink the Cup?” pierced my heart like a sharp spear of a hunter. I knew at that moment – as with a flesh of insight – that taking this question seriously would radically change our lives. This question pierced Henri J.M. Nouwen heart. Can the question pierce our heart? Come join us for prayer, discussion & faith sharing from 6:30 – 8:00 pm on Wednesdays (4/10, 4/24, 5/8 & 5/22) at OLQP in the Hospitality Room.

Youth in our Parish Faith Formation, Sacramental Prep and Youth Ministry Programs are working to make Lent special. Youth are leading prayer during our sessions, and getting involved in Lenten service projects as we practice the traditional Lenten Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. UPDATE: we raised over $988.64 for Catholic Relief Services. We have also collected enough Cereal Boxes and Toilet Paper to build a tower 500 feet tall for Sr Regis Food Cupboard! Youth have also started to return their Rice Bowls - it is not too late - if you can - count the money and bring a check for that amount.

Spring has finally sprung! Everyone is invited to the annual parish picnic at Buckland Park Lodge at 6:00 pm on April 30. 2019.

If you are in grades PreK4 though Grade 5 - join us for SonRise Camp. This is a three day adventure with stories, song and hands on activities to explore Holy Week. By encountering and journeying with Jesus on his last few days, youth come to know in their hearts as well as understand in their minds more deeply the most important mystery in our faith - The Paschal Mystery.
