 | Appalachia Building Project |
Since 1985, the Youth Group at St. Thomas More has made an annual trip to Appalachia to build a home for a needy family. Sister Nancy Sutton of the Good Shepherd Mission in Whitley City, McCreary County, Kentucky, provides the Parish with the name of a family in need. In June 2007, Father Furey, 16 teens, and 6 adult chaperones helped build a home.
A music video done for the 2005 trip will give you a feel for what the experience is like.
Annual Golf and Tennis Outing
The Appalachia trip is supported financially by an annual golf and tennis outing on a Monday in May. Parishioners are invited to play golf or tennis, help run the outing, and have dinner.
The 2008 outing, in memory of James Robert Gallagher, is on Monday, May 19, at the Oak Hills Golf Course in Norwalk.
