“Growing the Next Generation”
Campaign Corner Update

Dear Parishioners,

I want to begin by expressing my heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary generosity you have shown toward our Growing the Next Generation Capital Campaign. Your commitment to the future of our parish, our church, our school, and our shared mission continues to inspire me. I’m pleased to share with you the most recent updates on the projects your support is making possible:

Total Pledged to Date: $12,289,234

• Thank you to all who have already made a pledge. Your sacrifice and faithfulness are deeply
  appreciated.
  
  Church Sidewalk Project:
  
• Work will begin this summer to complete the sidewalks around our campus, improving safety and accessibility for all. Given the amount of heavy equipment involved, it will be prudent to start this project after the school year.
  
  HVAC Improvements:
• The contractor has been authorized to order new equipment serving the church for installation this Fall.
  
  Church Roof Repair:
  
• Proposals are being solicited for the repairs to the church roof, and work is expected to start this Summer.
  
  STM Education Center & Chapel:
  
• We have selected Allied Building Corporation as our contractor. Diocesan paperwork and
  applications are underway as we prepare for the demolition phase and the beginning of the new
  construction.

I am profoundly grateful to each of you who has prayerfully considered what you are able to pledge over the five years of this campaign. For those who have not yet had the opportunity to participate, additional information will be mailed to you in the coming weeks. I ask you to reflect on how you might join us in this important effort. Please continue to keep our parish, our school, and this campaign in your prayers. Together, we are building a strong and vibrant future for the next generation of St. Thomas More.

God bless you and your families!

Sincerely in Christ,

Monsignor Andrew R. Baker
