The Month of May
is both named for and dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God
"The mood of springtime informs the church's interior; nature's
blossoming, the warm air of May evenings, human gladness in
a world that is renewing itself -- all these things enter in.
Veneration of Mary has its place in this very particular
atmosphere, for she, the Virgin, shows us faith under its
youthful aspect, as God's new beginning in a world that has
grown old. In her we see the Christian life set forth as a youth-
fulness of the heart, as beauty and a waiting readiness for
what is to come."
-- Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Seek That Which is Above
(Ignatius, 1986), pp. 95-96.
Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Feast Day
May 31st
As Pope John Paul II said, "It is Jesus in fact that you desire when you dream of happiness, He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you. He is the beauty to which you are so attracted...He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life...It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives." We are committed to the youth of St Thomas More in their journey for faith!
The St. Thomas More Middle School Youth Ministry is a group of 6th, 7th, & 8th grade students desiring to grow in their Catholic Faith and develop faith based friendships. As our Mission Statement drives us to "go and make disciples" we are committed to growing in our faith through through weekly Crossfire meetings, retreats, events, small group activities, and service opportunities.
