On this Good Shepherd Sunday, we offer a spiritual bouquet for Fr. Chuck — a living tapestry of prayers, sacrifices, and heartfelt gratitude from the St. Thomas More family.

Placed at the altar, with a companion chalk artwork greeting all who enter, this bouquet is more than a symbol — it is a reflection of a priest who has shown us what it means to love like Christ.

Fr. Chuck, you are truly love in action.
In your joyful witness, your steady presence, your compassion in the quiet moments, and your faithfulness at the altar, you reveal the heart of the Good Shepherd — one who knows his people, walks with them, and lays down his life in countless hidden ways. Through you, we encounter Christ not as a distant figure, but as One who is near, tender, and alive.

You have shaped our parish not just by what you do, but by who you are — a shepherd who leads with humility, serves with joy, and loves without counting the cost.

As we honor you, we invite our parish family to “Uplift Your Priest” by offering a prayer, sacrifice, or act of love in your name. Add your offering through our SignupGenius:

May this spiritual bouquet be a small return for the immense gift you are to us — a reminder that the shepherd who gives so much is deeply loved in return.

🙏💙
