ST. THOMAS MORE 

The Fellowship Club has donated a “Buddy Bench” to our St. Thomas More School. A Buddy Bench or Friendship Bench is a seat in a school playground where a child can go when they want someone to talk to. The bench is a means by which a child can seek support without the need to rationalize their feelings or to seek out a particular member of the staff or special friend.  Approximately 25,000 plastic bottle caps were collected, cleaned and sorted by the STM Fellowship Club members to make the bench.

St. Thomas More Fellowship Club is a group of men and women 55 years and older, that meet on the third Tuesday of each month.  It is the longest standing group at St. Thomas More and we are very proud of that. We have a short meeting, provide lunch, followed by valuable information, a guest speaker, fun and games, or sometimes just good old conversation among friends.  Three events each year include a summer BBQ at Tyler Creek Forest Preserve, a Christmas party, and a pizza party, all provided by the club. Yearly membership is just $10 and $1 per meeting whenever you are able to join us (if you do not attend, you do not pay).  We encourage members to come regularly but we understand that is not always possible so we are happy to welcome you whether it is once a year or every month. Other trips and events are provided during the year at an additional expense. Some of the trips we took this past year were to Chandler’s in Schaumburg, Pheasant Run in St. Charles, and White Pines State park.  At each location we enjoyed lunch and a musical presentation.
