Fred Rogers (1928-2003) of Mister Rogers Neighborhood (1968-2001) once said, "Anyone who does anything to help a child in his or her life is a hero." To which Carlos Michael added, "Anyone who helps his or her neighbor is a hero to me!"

Why St. Thomas More?

Before one can go beyond the boundaries of one's property to build relationships with their neighbors, one must first develop solidly rooted relationships with their "first neighbors". That begins not outside of, but inside the home.

 

Hence our motto, "Everyone IS our neighbor!"

 

And yes, that includes our families. It just makes sense that you honor those at home first before honoring anyone else outside of the home.

 

These awards aren't necessarily about the neighbor receiving the award as much as they are about how close one becomes to the Lord as a result of a relationship with their neighbor. 

 

God first. Neighbor second. Self, third! 

 

Because of these relationships, not only has Carlos found himself and learned that life is NOT about him but about God and neighbor -- then the self, in that order. What better place to start than with his home parish--the first neighbors outside of Carlos's traditional family home?

 

"It just made sense to begin this annual event by first honoring my neighbors at home and today that home is the parish community of St. Thomas More Catholic Church."

-Carlos Michael
