Mission Statement
We, the pastor, staff and parents of St. Thomas More Parish School,
are committed to developing the minds, hearts and souls of our students.
By planting faith-filled seeds of good habits,
we open our students’ minds to knowledge, their hearts to service
and their souls to the beauty of God’s creation.
Statement of Philosophy
We believe that each child can be formed into a responsible individual with values
rooted in Christian precepts. We strive to maintain a profound sense of purpose to
build within each student a deep respect for God, self, others, and property. All
school personnel, families and students are challenged to lead, teach and learn the
way of accepting personal responsibility for one’s own actions and to grow in
wisdom, age and grace before God and one another. The goal of the St. Thomas
More Parish School experience is to open the mind to knowledge, the heart to
service and the soul to God’s presence in creation.
The STM symbol was specifically designed for the celebration
of the Silver Anniversary of St. Thomas More Parish School.
This symbol portrays the basic principles of Catholic education.
The cross represents the central theme of Christianity, while the
quill stands for scholarship. The unfinished circle emphasizes
the never-ending quest for knowledge.

St. Thomas More Parish School Budget – 2016-2017
St. Thomas More Endowment Foundation
In 1991, St. Thomas More Parish took an important step to insure the future of its parish school by
forming the St. Thomas More Endowment Foundation. This fund, created by Msgr. Thomas Donovan
and others, was formed for the sole purpose of providing financial support to the parish school. The
Endowment Fund is managed by a Board of Directors, which consists of the Pastor, the Financial
Director of the Parish, the School Board President, and three at-large members. The Board is
responsible for managing the investment of the principle in the fund, as well as directing distributions
for the benefit of the school.
Contributions from fundraisers (such as Oktoberfest and private donations, including planned estate
giving), along with returns on investment, have allowed the balance in the fund to grow to over $1 million.
This year the Endowment Board authorized a distribution of $52,500 directly to the 2017-2018 School
Budget.
The St. Thomas More Parish Endowment Foundation was established in 1991 with the
mission to provide financial support and insure the long term viability of our school.
Planned gifts are important, needed and allow the school to accomplish great things.
There is no better way to plan for future growth and strength! You may endow STM
with the stroke of a pen. Through a charitable bequest in your will or living trust, you can
ensure that the school will keep its doors open to qualified students whose families
seek a Catholic education. This thoughtful act, which has little or no current financial
impact on you, may result in the largest one-time gift you ever make to St. Thomas More
Parish School. Please be a part of the STM mission, vision, excitement and hope!
