 St. Thomas More Parish is in the process of launching a Youth Ministry. We cordially invite our 7th, 8th and 9th grade students to join this exciting parish
program. In light of this, the parish ministry will start off by sponsoring a co-ed “Family Volleyball” game for charity. This event will prepare your child to be exposed to Charity Works in the parish and will be the perfect opportunity for them to live out their faith in action. Registration is free – we only ask that you bring a non-perishable item to be donated for the less fortunate. Parents and siblings are invited to join in the volleyball game (12 years and older). Younger siblings are certainly welcome to observe the game. More information will follow. Please RSVP: stmccdfairfield@gmail.com or call 973-227-3607 by October 13th.
