Dear STM Families,
St. Thomas More is very blessed to have Fr. Hai as our Pastor. He is very supportive of the school and loves our students. On May 22, 2018, Fr. Hai will celebrate the 19th Anniversary of his Ordination. As a sign of our love and support, we would like to present him with a new Censer. All students are invited to bring in $3.00 by next Wednesday, May 16th that will be used to purchase this special gift. We are excited about this gift and look forward to presenting it to Fr. at the all school mass on May 18th from our school families. Please see details
