St. Thomas More parishioners - and youth in particular - showed up in full force to show support for Father Drew Navarro at his Ordination Mass today. Fr. Rafael & Fr. Patrick were also in attendance, and Fr. Rafael managed to snag a selfie with the newest priest in the "best Diocese in the Universe",
Congratulations Fr. Drew! We are overjoyed for you.
🥀✝️🥀
Fr. Drew will be returning to St. Thomas More to celebrate Masses of Thanksgiving on Sunday, June 21 at 11:15am and 1:15pm. We are excited to give him a proper send-off before he begins his first assignment elsewhere.

As the Easter season draws to a close, we wanted to share a small sample of photos from this year's bilingual Easter Vigil Mass. More are available on our parish homepage, in our Photo Gallery.

Thank you to the many volunteers who came together to support our Pastor and clergy in celebrating the Paschal Triduum. The Easter Vigil Mass is a highlight of our liturgical year, and it is also a profound moment of unity for our large parish. We are grateful for moments like this where we can share a little slice of our parish life with you.

We are celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation with over 100 of our youth this week. Yesterday evening, and again this evening, we invoked the Holy Spirit at Confirmation Masses with our Bishop. Pictures from both Masses will be forthcoming. In the meantime - please join us in praying for them! Thanks be to God for the faithful witness of our youth!

We would like to invite you to join us in a special Holy Hour for Peace at the Saint John Fisher Chapel this Saturday (4/11) at 4pm. Come for part or the full hour as you are able.

We unite our prayers and intentions with those of Archbishop Coakley and Pope Leo, in an urgent appeal for peace.

"...let us abandon every desire for conflict, domination, and power, and implore the Lord to grant his peace to a world ravaged by wars and marked by a hatred and indifference that make us feel powerless in the face of evil. To the Lord we entrust all hearts that suffer and await the true peace that only he can give. Let us entrust ourselves to him and open our hearts to him!" - Pope Leo XIV, Easter Urbi et Orbi 2026
