What gifts do you bring to our community?
Everyone in our parish family is called to discipleship and service through our baptism. The Catholic Community of St. Thomas More is enriched by the presence of those who are active in our many ministries and groups. As you have much to offer St. Thomas More, St. Thomas More has much to offer you for your spiritual development, desire to serve and sense of community. We invite you to help build the kingdom of God and our parish community. Our parish ministries are grouped by portfolio (guiding mission.)
