God Bless Our Pets!
On Sunday, October 4th at 1:30pm, Fr. Browning greeted a group of parishioners/friends/neighbors and their pets (including, but not limited to, dogs, cats & fish) in the St. Thomas More parking lot. The sun was shining, the air was crisp, all the barking and meowing quieted down for Fr.Browning to give a blessing and holy water sprinkle to all who attended.

Are you a parent?
Grandparent?
Caregiver?
And looking for ways to bring faith into your everyday life? Do you have a creative flair and like to share?
St. Thomas More has a new private Facebook group for you! This group exists for parents by parents. Faith doesn’t come from a workbook, but by living, praying and seeking a relationship with Jesus in the muck
and pleasures of everyday life.
Did your kiddos get Fr. Browning colored yet?
Please post how you have Father in your home!

I’ve just seen a trailer for PRAY: THE STORY OF PATRICK PEYTON, and I can’t wait for you to see it when it comes to theaters the weekend of Oct. 9. I knew the phrase, “The Family That Prays Together Stays Together,” but until now, I never really knew the man behind it: a poor Irish immigrant who went to Hollywood and then around the world to promote family prayer and the Rosary. He worked with the biggest stars and held huge Rosary rallies, but he remained a humble Irish priest, in love with Our Lady. You’ll be uplifted, inspired and amazed! The movie is coming to Elgin Marcus theatres this weekend.
