CHRIST OUR LIFE
CATHOLIC REGIONAL
CONFERENCE
Save the dates - Sept. 29th & 30th -
for one of the largest Catholic
Conferences of its kind in the United
States. For more information, please go to:
ChristOurLifeIowa.com
Save the Date: Saturday, June 16th. Please help
welcome our newest STM parishioners with a welcome
meal after 5:15PM Mass in the church lower level.
The time is NOW for the Diocese of
Davenport to move forward and fill every
life with the joy of the Gospel though a
fresh encounter with Jesus Christ! Join
Bishop Zinkula in opening our hearts to the
Holy Spirit through “Vision 20/20: From
Pentecost to Pentecost”. This diocesan-wide effort will
begin with Listening Sessions in all parishes, schools,
and ministries in the Fall of 2018, followed by Regional
Conversations, and then a two-day Convocation in the
Spring of 2019. At the Convocation, we will celebrate
our unity in the joy of the Gospel and identify effective
ways in which to share the Good News with others.
In the Fall of 2019, we will take the next steps in our
parishes, schools and ministries. Finally, there will be a
diocesan celebration during Pentecost of 2020 to keep
the momentum going. Please prayerfully consider your
participation in Vision 20/20. More information to follow.
Included in our May "The Last Shall Be First"
collection for the North Liberty pantry were
many, many jars of peanut butter, lots of
different macaroni and cheese selections,
and numerous packages of fruit and
pudding servings. These "kid-friendly"
items requested by the pantry, coupled
with other food and non-food items, totaled
349 pounds. Thank you to all who contributed
to May's collection.
Our June collection weekend for the Coralville pantry
is June 23/24. In addition to food, please consider
donating the requested personal hygiene items of
deodorant, shampoo, and hand soap. If for any reason
collection weekend is an inconvenient donation time,
you may place items you choose to donate in the blue
barrels at any time.
Thank-you

Have you seen the sign that shows these letters and blank spaces, CH_ _CH, then asks, "what's missing?" Of course, the answer is, "U R." It's true. Only together can we be a complete church, a full representation of the Body of Christ in our community. That's why I am so grateful to all who have turned in their planning surveys regarding the possibility of a campaign for a new worship space at St. Thomas More Church and to all who have expressed their thoughts. Everyone's views are important and I hope that everyone also agrees that even if our ideas aren't the ones that are ultimately settled upon, because we are the Body of Christ, we will still give our support. Frankly, I think either plan could serve us well and I trust in God's guidance and the wisdom of others in helping make decisions. It's important also to know that our current drawings are just concept drawings to get us started. We are grateful for the work of architect and parishioner Jorge Lopez for the concept drawings and 3-dimension graphics on the webpage. If the planning study determines that we should proceed, the Diocese of Davenport Building Commission requires us to interview at least three architectural firms and hire one to work with a liturgical consultant who will help us arrive at a final design for a worship space. Clearly, the final plans are far from complete and we have a lot to consider before they are. But the first step is to determine if it is feasible to begin the process at this time. So please pray for our parish discernment. And please return your completed planning survey by June 12th. Everyone's voice is important. To fully be church, "UR" needed. And I am grateful for the fact that so many recognize that and are so quick to jump in and help. ---Fr. Chuck
A Prayer for our Parish Discernment God of all Creation, we praise you for your glory
revealed in our parish family. Guide us as we seek
to fulfill our parish mission in our growing
Corridor Community. Our patron, Saint Thomas
More, offered his life out of love for You. May our
sacrifices allow your Gospel to spread in our
community and enable us to be a parish for all
people in all seasons of life. With the divine
assistance of your grace, help us provide the
“More” our future demands.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Special Thank you! St Thomas More Youth Group cannot thank the Knight of Columbus enough for helping us so much with the concession stand during the musical! The food was fabulous and you guys ROCK!
