Emergency Assistance
Saint Thomas More Parish is able to provide limited assistance to persons needing help with electric or gas bills and groceries. Non-parishioners must be within our parish boundaries in order to receive this assistance or they may contact the nearest Catholic church. If you are in need of assistance, please contact the church office at the number below or click here to contact David Butel, our pastoral associate in charge of this ministry.
Catholic Charities helps during economic downturn
As you know, the economic downturn is affecting many people. In response to this, Becky Gripp from Catholic Charities is joining us. She will be in the STM office on Mondays, from 9am to 4pm. She will be working with people who have been impacted by the economy, trying to help them identify resources to find their way back to economic security. This is a new position with Catholic Charities, and it will be evolving as Becky meets with people to assess their needs. If you would like to schedule an appointment with Becky, call the parish office on Mondays, 816.942.2492 or email her at rgripp@ccharities.com.
Lift a Burden
If you would like to help the Emergency Assistance Team respond to people who come to us needing assistance, make a check payable to St. Thomas More, and write "Neighbors in Need" in the memo line. Your donation will go into an account that we use to assist people.
