We have once again achieved our goal for the CMA (Catholic Ministries Appeal). We are currently at 122% of the goal. I think we have made our goal every year for at least twenty years. St. Thomas More is a very generous parish. The annual appeal supports so many ministries and programs in the Archdiocese.

The Bishops of Ohio are extending the waiver of the obligation to attend Sunday Masses (and Holydays) for the foreseeable future. They are doing this so that no one should have to feel guilty about not attending out of fear of catching the virus. Since children will not be getting vaccinated until the end of the summer we will continue with all due caution with our safeguards (masks, no precious blood at Mass, no holy water in the fonts, etc.)

HOLY WATER. We are receiving requests for Holy Water. Since we cannot put the water in the fonts we will begin blessing water you bring in your own container after each Mass on the SECOND SUNDAY of each month. Just come up to the front of church and a Priest or Deacon will bless the water at that time. The weekends for the blessing are April 10/11, May 8/9, June 12/13, July 10/11, and August 7/8.
