Karen McElhaney, Youth Minister
My name is Karen McElhaney and I am thrilled, honored, and super excited to be your new Youth Minister! I am a life long member of St. Thomas More parish. I received all of my sacraments at STM and attended school here as well. My children have all gone through the school and I taught preschool here for ten years.
Needless to say, I consider STM my second home! My husband, Rich, and I recently celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary and we have three children, Elizabeth, Anna, and Connor.
We have a vibrant youth ministry in our parish, and I look forward to working with our teens and middle schoolers, to help them embrace and build on their relationship with Christ, in a fun and upbeat environment.

Chris received several concussions during his years of high school football and then even more during moments of hi-jinks in college. Please take whatever Chris says with a generous grain of salt.
Maeve McElligott
I am a new high school graduate taking a gap year as the Lord guides me in His plan for my life. I was a part of the STM youth group as a student for two years, and I am so happy to be joining now as a volunteer and doing Christ's work through this amazing ministry. I love Adoration, art, tea, fellowship, and the Catholic faith.
Mandy Slowey
Hi, I’m Mandy! I just graduated from Penn State in speech-language pathology, but my heart is with my undergrad school, St. Vincent College. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, singing, and eating anything that goes with ranch dressing. I’m excited to be back with the parish that welcomed me in 7 years ago!
Meg Murphy
Hi! I’m Meg Murphy and I am a 23-year-old parishioner here at STM. I started volunteering in youth ministry a year ago after praying about it and deciding that I would live at home while pursuing my master’s degree from Cal U. God placed it on my heart and I couldn’t be happier with this decision. I went to school here and I have worked here for the past four summers cleaning the school and church. I also help cater events in the Family Life Center and I am one of the assistant coaches for the CYO girls’ basketball team.
