St. Thomas More Feast

Join our priests and visiting clergy for Solemn Mass at 5:30 PM on Saturday, July 18th, followed by an evening of entertainment, food and fellowship in the Parish Center.

We invite all of our STM Parishioners to prepare your favorite appetizer, covered-dish, entrée or dessert. Many volunteers are needed from our various Parish ministries and organizations. We always welcome corporate, business and private sponsorships of our celebrations.

Let this be a celebration of our unity in Christ, under our worthy patron,
St. Thomas More!

New Sanctuary Marble

The threadbare carpets throughout the church are an eyesore and hazard, none more so than on the high altar and in the daily Mass chapel. With the assistance and fund - raising efforts of the STM Spanish Community the main sanctuary now adorns the celebration of the Eucharist with fine marble and an inlay of the Chi - Rho, the ancient and apostolic symbol of Christ.

In the coming months and with the assistance of the STM Madonna Guild/CCW, the Women of God, and individual parishioners we will replace the chapel carpets with stone and begin construction on our new expanded and handicapped - accessible washroom rooms.

May God bless those whose sacrifices make St. Thomas More Church a beautiful place of worship and fellowship.

If you would like to contribute to the church restoration please contact Glenn Garamella at 561-737-3095.
