Bishop honors church renovations Saturday
In celebration of the renovations at St. Thomas More University Parish, Bishop Leonard Blair of the
Diocese of Toledo will take part in a special Mass at 5 p.m. on Saturday for the grand opening of the
new chapel.
The parish has been busy renovating the church with a baptismal fount, building a private confessional,
reconstructing the altar and moving the tabernacle inside the main body of the church. These are the
first updates and renovations done to the St. Thomas More church since 1997 and Blair will be at St.
Thomas More to celebrate the renovations. These renovations came after St. Thomas More University Parish
celebrated the 50th parish anniversary in October of 2008.
"This Mass will mark an important milestone for St. Thomas More as our ministry and parish continue
to grow. These renovations are a testament to the thriving Catholic community at BGSU," said Fr.
Michael Dandurand, the pastor at St. Thomas More Parish.
