🌟 Looking for community without the burnout? Welcome to G.A.L.S. Ministry! 🌟

Let’s be honest: life is busy. You want to give back, but you don't want to sign your life away. That is exactly why we started G.A.L.S. (Give A Little Service) right here at St. Thomas More.

We are a group of women keeping it simple: showing up, feeding people, praying together, and building friendships.

No guilt. No pressure. No perfection required.

Whether you want to cook a meal, help with youth pizza nights, or literally just show up with a package of store-bought cookies—you belong here. We serve in small, joyful ways that actually fit into your real life.
