Hearts With Hammers is a local version of our Appalachia mission and is a St. Thomas More service ministry of teens and adults who spend a Saturday morning/afternoon several times a year, offering assistance with home repairs to families in our local community in need of a helping hand.

What the day looks like: depart together from STM school parking lot at 9:00am, returning by mid-afternoon (around 4pm). Everyone should bring their own bag lunch, water bottle, protective footwear, and permission form. If you can't start at 9am or stay until 4pm, no worries! Please join us for as long as you can! (But you'll need to provide your own transportation.)

If you have any of these, you can bring the following tools: hammer, speed square, pencil, tape measure, snips, utility knife, nail pouch or tool belt.

The Fall Retreat is an amazing weekend geared toward teens in high school, grades 9-12. The videos, music, speakers, topics, scenery, and schedule are all designed to meet teenagers where they are and help them take the next step in their faith. There will be talented speakers, Mass, great workshops, incredibly good food, Eucharistic Adoration, Reconciliation, and time to pray and grow closer to God. The goal is not to shove religion down your throat, but to offer you the truth, give you opportunities to encounter the Living God, and provide time for you to talk about it with your friends. If you have never been on The Fall Retreat, you are in for a great experience!

This Year's Theme: Are you for real? Or do you hide behind your perfectly crafted social status? In doing so we surrender to fear, anxiety, pressure, keeping our faith life in one box and the rest of our lives in another. The cure is authentic surrender to the Lord. How can allowing yourself to be authentically loved by God and loving Him revolutionize your life? Fall Retreat 2018 seeks to tackle these tough questions and lead you to a new place of authentic freedom, confidence and love.
