2025 Capital Campaign
Campaign Materials
Welcome to the Growing the
Next Generation Campaign
Since 1966, St. Thomas More Parish has been a home of worship, learning, and community. Generations before us sacrificed so that we might have a thriving parish and school. Today, we are called to do the same, renewing our parish, investing in our children, and securing our future. Through the Growing the Next Generation Capital Campaign, we will strengthen our parish home, establish a vibrant preschool with a gymnasium and playground to form the next generation in faith, and prepare the way for those who come after us.
A Letter from Our Pastor – Msgr. Andrew Baker
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Since our founding in 1966, St. Thomas More has been blessed with generations of parishioners who built a thriving community of faith, learning, and service. Today, it is our turn to carry that legacy forward.
Through the Growing the Next Generation Capital Campaign, we will rejuvenate our parish and school, build a preschool Education Center with a gymnasium and playground to support evangelization and early faith formation, care for our church through essential renovations, and establish an endowment fund for long-term stability.
This is more than a project; it is a shared commitment. Guided by the principle of equal sacrifice, not equal giving, we are each invited to participate according to our means, so that together, we can do something extraordinary.
I invite you to explore the plans, pray with us, and join in this important effort to secure the future of our parish family.
Sincerely in Christ,
Msgr. Andrew Baker
Pastor
Our Campaign Priorities
Preserving Our Sacred Space – Church Renovations
Our church has been the heart of St. Thomas More since 1966. To keep it strong for the future, we will address essential projects: upgrading the HVAC system, repairing the roof, replacing pews, and improving our cement walkways. These updates will ensure our parish remains a safe, welcoming, and prayerful space for generations to come.
Building for Tomorrow – The St. Thomas More Education Center
The new Education Center will be a state-of-the-art preschool, providing a nurturing environment where our youngest parishioners can begin their faith journey. This center will allow St. Thomas More to further the mission of evangelization, forming children in Catholic values, prayer, and service from their earliest years. The Education Center will include a gymnasium and outdoor playground, offering students safe spaces to grow physically, socially, and spiritually. Designed to meet the needs of today while preparing for tomorrow, it will also serve as a gathering space for families and parish programs that strengthen our community.
Securing Our Future – Parish Endowment Fund
To ensure stability for the years ahead, we will establish a dedicated Endowment Fund. This lasting resource will strengthen our ability to serve future generations, supporting ministries, education, and parish life for decades to come.
Your Role in Growing the Next Generation
This campaign is about more than buildings; it is about rejuvenation. Together, we will renew our parish, strengthen our school, and build for the future.
Remember: this is not about equal giving, but about equal sacrifice. Every gift, prayerfully considered and given with generosity, makes a difference.
Closing Invitation:
We stand at an important moment in the history of St. Thomas More Parish. Just as those who came before us sacrificed to give us a thriving parish and school, so too are we called to give generously for the generations yet to come.
Join us in this historic effort. Together, we will grow the next generation of faith, service, and community at St. Thomas More.
