Important Faith Formation Updates:
Dear Faith Formation Families: Please read carefully. Our building is still healing and is not “kid” friendly yet. So there will be no regular faith formation classes this week: Sunday, April 28th, Tuesday, April 30th, or Wednesday, May 1, 2024. This was scheduled to be our last sessions for the school year. I do not like ending the year on this note, but it is out of my hands. Thank you for making faith formation important for your children. Registration will begin in June for the 2024-2025 year. Watch our website for the schedule and more information. Of course, you can always email or call me! Just to recap – there will be no Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade First Year, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, 3-4-5 First Year, nor 6-7-8 First Year classes this week. Keep making God the center of your homes, pray together, and of course, attend Mass! We will have Sacrament Prep classes. If your child is in Sacrament Prep class (will receive their first communion on May 11, 2024) – then YES – there is class for them. Sacrament Prep classes will be moved to rooms with no damage. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Peace and wellness be with you all, Jenifer Jefferies - 725-204-9912
Baptism Prep Class: Our May class is being moved to May 8th. Additional information here.

Nevadans for the Common Good: The NCG core team here at St. Thomas More needs your help! Nevadans for the Common Good (NCG) is a broad-based coalition of institutions such as churches and nonprofits here in the Las Vegas area. We work on issues affecting Nevadans in order to change life for the better for all of us. NCG will be hosting conversations following all Masses the weekend of May 4—5 in the Community Center. We want to learn about the problems facing our community. What keeps you up at night? You are encouraged to share experiences about the pressures facing you, your family, or people you care about. Come and share and see how you could be a part of the work to make long-term changes on important issues facing our citizens. These “House Meetings” (conversations) are open to adults and teens. Plan to spend about an hour with us. For more information, please contact our parish Nevadans for the Common Good leader John Jorgensen at john.jorgensen1984@gmail.com
