Help us support St. Thomas! This week, we celebrate the mission and values that unite Episcopal schools all over our country. Service is one of our primary values - we strive to respond compassionately to the needs of others. St. Thomas Episcopal School in Houston was devastated by Hurricane Harvey. The school needs to raise $1M to restore its campus. We are pleased to do our part in helping them reach their goal. Let’s share some love and good wishes with this fellow school.
