World Mission Sunday Oct. 21st
While most of us will never be in a position to travel the world spreading the Gospel message, our Catholic identity, given in baptism, calls each of us to be missionaries. This call we can answer by supporting with our prayers and contributions those who do so in the name of the Church Universal. Next Sunday, we celebrate World Mission Sunday to raise an awareness of the needs of our missionaries and to afford us an opportunity to make a charitable donation.
With thanks and prayerful best wishes,I am, Faithfully in Christ,

Blessing of the Animals - It has become a tradition in many churches to conduct a blessing of animals on the Sunday closest to the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. So, on Sunday, October 14th at 1:15p.m., we will have such a ceremony at St. Thomas More to give thanks to God for our animal companions and to pray for their continued good health. There will also be an opportunity for anyone whose pet has died within the past year to acknowledge that loss in a formal way. At a certain point in the ceremony, they will be invited to come forward and mention the name of the pet, how he/she died and one thing that made that animal companion so special in their lives.All God’s creatures are welcome.
Online Giving Systems are now available to All Parishioners.To make an on-line contribution please go to the website: www.olgcstm.org and press the DONATE button connected to the church to which you wish to send your contributions.
You are cordially invited to join our
