As of mid-Jun 2015, St Thomas More awaits news of the appointment of the Pastor for the newly merged parish with Our Lady of Good Counsel. This decision then sets in motion the administrative combination of the two parishes, combining certain aspects while striving to maintain their individual identities in others. The merged parishes will have a single Parish Council with equal representation for both former parishes. On Jun 16, Making All Things New Cluster Groups have been invited to attend a meeting designed to inform merging parishes of next steps.
As the 2014 - 2105 PC year concludes, your PC has organized more than 20 parish events, a weekly Family Coffee Hour and newly instituted monthly Sunday Cocktail Hour. We thank all parishioners who have attended and, importantly, contributed to these events, and making our parish a vibrant community.
Over the summer, the Family Coffee Hour and Sunday Cocktail Hour will continue. Please check the Sunday Bulletin, email and/or the website for further information on the merger and how you can contribute.
An enjoyable and safe summer to all!
Respectfully submitted by,
Alicia Damley, Secretary, STM Parish Council
