We give thanks to you, dear God, for the many labors, sacrifices, talents and gifts shared by those who have gone before us, making our parish what it is today. And in this important time, we ask you to guide and direct us to know what must be done, and gain the strength and wisdom to complete what we have begun. Instill in us a generous spirit. May we serve you in all things, and may you bless our efforts in Renewing our Heritage here at St. Thomas More. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
