A Future with Hope
For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.
-Jeremiah 29:11
Almighty God, You have promised that You know the plans You have for us— plans for our welfare and not for harm, to give us a future with hope. In faith, we step forward, trusting in Your guidance. Bless this campaign, that through our generosity and labor, we may build a future where Your love is known, Your mission is fulfilled, and Your people flourish. Unite our hearts, strengthen our hands, and grant us vision to be faithful stewards of Your gifts, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from Fr. Mike
Thank you for visiting our “A Future with Hope” page!
In 2025 we launched this effort with a goal of raising $1.75 million – to replace the roofs over our church and the two adjoining wings ($450,000) and to pay off the debt on the Woehler Family Center ($1.2 million). Thanks to the generosity of our congregation, we have exceeded our goal and have $2.1 pledged and counting.
As you can see, the roof replacement project is already underway and will be paid for by the pledges we’ve already collected. Our next priority will be the debt reduction. After that, we will replenish our “Rainy Day” fund and pay ourselves back for our capital drive related expenses. Then, we will do some renovations in our Children’s Education wing, fixing damaged plumbing and modernizing those spaces to today’s standards.
If you have pledged to this campaign, thank you. Come back and visit this page to track our progress. If you have yet to pledge and would like to, your generosity will only speed up the great day when our debt is paid off. Every additional pledge we receive from here on out will allow us to do those Children’s Education classroom renovations!
God’s word to Jeremiah to encourage Israel that they would have a future with hope extends all the way to us. God is faithful and is positioning St. Thomas for its next fifty years of ministry to San Antonio. God is faithful! And thank you for your support and prayers.
Blessings – Mike+
