Hey High School Students!
Your last 4 years at home are hectic - your schedule is overflowing. But you won't regret making time to be at St. Thomas More! Join us for an adventure that only Christ offers, as you dive into the thing that matters most in life - a relationship with Love and Truth incarnate! There's always something going on in high school ministry at STM, so no matter what you're interested in, you'll find something on our calendar for you.
All high school youth are encouraged to register with youth ministry each year; please go to Programs for details.
Hope to see you soon!

Inner City of Denver Mission Trip
July 17-21, 2013
While we know there is great need in our world, there are many opportunities for us to serve in our own backyard. That's why all high school youth (including incoming freshmen and graduated seniors) are invited to be part of the Inner City Mission Trip every summer. Spend 5 days living and working in downtown Denver - you'll never see our hometown in the same way again!
Space is always very limited, so sign up early. Check back in Spring 2013 for information about the next Inner City trip. If you have questions, contact Sue Frank on email or at 303-220-3388 ext. 3.
