Happy Easter from the St. Thomas More Society!

The tomb is empty, and the light of the resurrection shines throughout the world! From the stillness of the grave to the glory of new life, we rejoice in Christ’s victory over death!

Because of Jesus’ willingness to die for our sins, we no longer fear the end of life on earth, but look towards eternal life in the kingdom of heaven!

Interesting developments involving our Patron. If approved, the Anglican church aims to have the shrine set up by 2035, the 500th anniversary of St. Thomas More's martyrdom.

St. Thomas More was martyred in 1635 by King Henry VIII; he was canonized and declared a martyr in 1935 by Pope Pius XI.
