Your prayerful support of the BAA meets personal
needs
Thirty years of faithful devotion to the work of the Bishop’s Annual
Appeal is a lasting measure of a diocesan commitment to our friends and
neighbors throughout the Diocese of Baton Rouge. It involves significant
engagement on the part of Catholic parishioners like you, as you help meet
the needs of people all across the capital region.
You may know someone whose life has been personally touched through
the BAA because of support for Catholic Charities, the Sanctuary for Life,
Catholic Life TV, or the outreach and fellowship celebrated at St. Thomas
More Parish. Ultimately, impact is widespread and annual contributions
benefit us all. Because you understand that commitment, you may have
already contributed to this effort. If so, we again express our thanks. If not,
then please take advantage of the opportunity to participate with your
fellow parishioners, as we look forward to the upcoming Commitment
Weekend.
Together, we Glorify God and Serve Others, this year’s timeless theme
and a reminder that the work continues because needs persist. There are
many ways to engage. If you’ve yet to do so, please read through the packet
of material Bishop Muench recently sent to you. You’ll note the many
ministries you support through the BAA and will find many ways to
conveniently make your commitment: complete the form and mail it in the
envelope provided, join The Crosier Society or The Bishop Stanley Ott
Society, log in and make your donation online through baabr.org, or simply
utilize one of the offering envelopes provided to you at the upcoming
Commitment Weekend. Your personal commitment will matter to many.
“Great is the Lord… One generation praises your deeds to the next…”
(Ps. 145:3-4).

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
TRUE BLINDNESS
Bartimaeus caused a stir. Normally he sat by the side of the road being a "good blind beggar." But one day Jesus
passed nearby. Bartimaeus jumped up and called out to Jesus. We can imagine him turning toward the direction of the
commotion and noise. Bartimaeus probably had his arms outstretched as he shouted out to the son of David.
The people who knew him were embarrassed by his outburst. They tried to hush him up and get him to sit back down
by the roadside. Their actions spoke volumes: "Bartimaeus, you're not fit for Jesus." But it was okay for them and other
"sighted" people to follow Jesus. In today's readings, we learn that true blindness is not a condition of our eyes but of our
hearts.
STM Parish Stewardship of Finance / Nov. 14-15
By Maria Smith, STM Parish Stewardship Committee
In the next few weeks we will focus on the
Stewardship of Finance. Just as financial planning is
important in our own household or business, the
wisdom of planning is also in the finances of our church
parish. To quote Mother Theresa, "To keep a lamp
burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.” To keep our
parish financially sound, the council must monetarily
plan for both the current and projected future needs of
the many ministries, the facility and parish life.
As parishioners our financial support to our parish is returning a portion of
our gifts to God. As good stewards we no longer base our giving on what
others are giving, and we no longer excuse ourselves from giving because we do
not see others giving. Rather we give in proportion to all that God has given to
us. We return these gifts not because God or our Church needs them, but
because we feel an overwhelming need to show our love and gratitude to God.
Aware of our tremendous financial blessings, we strive to give generously to
support the building up of God's kingdom. We recognize the 10% tithe as an
important sacrificial goal.
Although this level of giving may not be
immediately possible, we are aware of what percentage we are giving back.
We regularly strive to increase our generosity, taking small incremental steps
toward giving a full tithe.
Faithful stewards understand that giving is a matter of prayerful planning,
consistency and gifts are given in proportion to all that God has given to us.
Please prayerfully consider your financial contribution to St. Thomas More and
make it a regular, consistent practice.
Mass of Remembrance
The annual Mass of Remembrance will be celebrated at the 10 a.m.
Mass on Sunday, Nov. 1, Feast of All Saints. All parish members are
invited to attend this Mass and the fellowship which follows in the
activity center. The Mass will serve as a time for remembrance of all
who where were buried from STM Church this past year.

Scripture resource offered
Father Tom has been challenging us
for a while now to prepare for Mass by
studying the readings before Sunday.
By cultivating the soil prior to the
proclamation of the Word at Mass,
children and adults are enabled to
acquire a deeper meaning of the Word
and focus on the center of our faith –
our Lord Jesus Christ. Collectively this
enables us to actively participate in
liturgy as one family in communion
with our Lord.
Once again, St. Thomas More is
offering a resource to assist in individuals, families, and prayer groups to
prepare for each Sunday Mass by breaking open the lectionary readings.
At Home with the Word, provides the weekly Scripture readings, offers
insights into the history and meaning of the Word, places the passages in
context so we have a clearer understanding of the scripture, and suggests
practical ways to live a faith-filled life.
New this year, St. Thomas More will be offering the ability to take your
order and payment online and the option to order both the regular and
large-print editions. Copies of At Home With the Word will also be available
for preview and preorder after the Masses on the weekend of Nov. 7 and 8.
The cost is only $8 for the regular print and $12 for the large-print each.
Books will be available for pickup on the weekend of Nov. 21 and 22 after
Masses or in the parish office after that.
Make it your resolution as we begin the new liturgical cycle, and discover
how a little preparation can deepen and enrich your faith life in the coming
year.
Honor loved ones during the Month of Remembrance
The Book of Remembrance is in the back of church for parishioners to
write down the names of their deceased loved ones and will remain there until
the end of November. Those who are included in the Book of Remembrance
will be especially remembered at Mass on Sunday, Nov. 1, the Feast of All
Saints, on Monday, Nov. 2, All Souls Day, and during the Masses in
November.
Donations are also being accepted toward flowers on the altar during the
month of November, the Month of Remembrance. Anyone who would like to
honor a deceased loved one with a donation should come to the parish office
before Nov. 27. The names of those being honored will appear in a future
edition of the Tower.
Boy Scout Troop 229 Service Project / Fundraiser
In celebration of Veteran’s Day, Boy Scout Troop 229 will
conduct a service project of collecting worn flags for proper
retirement. All flags collected will be respectfully retired
at a future Boy Scout ceremony. In conjunction with this
service project, the Scouts will have a fundraiser by
offering new 3’ x 5’ embroidered flags for purchase — $15. Scouts will be
present at all Masses Nov. 7-8.
