St. Thomas More Church

What makes St. Thomas More unique is the Latin mass done well by a male and female latin singers. There is chant, old sounding hymns that lend a certain reverence rarely seen in Catholic churches. The mass takes very long, no doubt. But the sung liturgy makes it something to experience as far a prayer and feeling of the divine.

Wonderful church family with a kind and compassionate group of people. There is a Latin Mass at 12 on Sundays if interested.

Reviewing a /​church/​? Strange. But ok. Really all I want to say is that if you are reading this, and you’d like to visit, please contact me and allow me to introduce myself and those I know at St. Thomas More. You may otherwise feel not-​so-​welcome at St. Thomas More. I am not even Catholic — yet anyhow — but I am determined to change that about St. Thomas More. St. Thomas More has a lot to offer but it takes us –people!- to make it happen.
Yeah, i realize i’m still a total stranger to you but if you’d like to get to know me a little virtually first, you can connect with me via my facebook profile:
UPDATE:
Ok, so I’ve since become a Catholic (ceremony was at St. Thomas) but I’m gonna need to lower my rating for St. Thomas. Just… contact me. Read the other reviews and let’s talk more directly.

St. Thomas More Church is one of the Churches that has not lost its Tradition and Reverence for the Mass. The Priests here know the faith and are not «push overs» for people who want to be more liberal in the way the Mass is celebrated. I attend the Latin Tridentine Mass here and the people who attend that Mass are very warm.
The Mass is also celebrated at times as Ad Orientum which is refreshing for a Novus Ordo Mass. I don’t live in this Parish but I travel to get here so that I can assist at a reverent Mass.
So if you want true Tradition and reverence in a Mass, this is the place for you.
God bless the Priests in this Church!
Update: There is a new pastor at this parish. He does not know how to say the Latin Mass. He doesn’t even help distribute holy communion because he does not know the Latin prayer to say during the distribution to each person. The only Mass given Ad Orientem is the Latin Mass. None of the other Masses are given ad orientem. I feel this parish is going backwards in terms of the way the Masses are given/​said. There are no altar boys for the Latin Mass but it is in the works for some boys to be trained to serve on the altar at the Latin Mass. It’s a good thing there is at least one priest who just learned the Latin Mass and he hopes to get better at saying the Latin Mass. So please pray for Fr. Matthew.

Tear. Childhood memories.
I grew up in Tommy More, and went to grammar school there from K-​8. The school has since closed and morphed into a charter school, but the church is still there, to the best of my knowledge. I haven’t been there in years, but from what I recall, services accomplished what all Catholic masses should– build you up (G-​d loves you!), knock you down (…even if you are a sinner), and top it off with some good ol’ guilt. Keeps ‘em coming back, Sunday after Sunday. and holy days of obligation, too, if you know what’s good for you.
In all seriousness, I miss attending church there. It’s a beautiful structure and very old fashioned. stained glass windows, gorgeous old fixtures. this is your grandmother’s church, and is nothing like the more modern ones seen nowadays. As with any parish you grow up in, it’s hard to say about the priests and nuns any longer, as they neighborhood (and the Catholic Church as a whole) has changed quite a bit over the years.
