Welcome to St. Thomas More

At St. Thomas More you join a diverse Catholic community that prays, learns, and serves together. You will hear the Gospel proclaimed, receive the Eucharist, and find steady support for your walk with Christ. Weekend and weekday Masses provide space for prayer in English and Spanish. Confession follows a clear weekly schedule. If you are new to the Catholic Church or returning after time away, the parish team explains each step with clarity and care. Families find age based formation, a vibrant school community, and practical resources that help faith take root at home.

You step onto a campus designed for worship and ministry. Greeters welcome you, ushers help you find a seat, and volunteers guide children to appropriate spaces. Music supports active participation. Homilies connect Scripture with daily life. The parish encourages you to grow through small groups, Bible studies, and service ministries. If you need sacramental preparation for baptism, confirmation, or marriage, the office provides simple checklists and timelines. If you want to serve, you can join hospitality teams, liturgical ministries, or outreach efforts that partner with local agencies to meet real needs.
