Dear St. Thomas More community,

Our brother parish of St. Joseph Catholic Church, West Liberty is facing an urgent situation. Pascual Leonardo Pedro-Pedro, a 20-year-old student, athlete, and cherished member of St. Joseph’s, was taken into custody by ICE on July 1, 2025 and placed in an expedited deportation process. Pascual has no criminal record and strong ties to his family, parish, and school.
Fr. Guillermo Treviño Jr. (Pascual’s pastor and godfather) is asking us to raise our voices in solidarity.
