Liturgical Ministers

Each week, hundreds of Catholics worship at Saint Thomas More Church. By your ministry, you help in carrying out the work of making Christ's presence known to all those who join us in our communal prayer. Thank you for your time, talent, and devotion to Christ and to our family of faith in Fairfield.

On this page, you can view and/or print the current Schedule for your ministry as an Altar Server, Lector, or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. Some general reminders for all of our liturgical ministers are listed at the bottom of this page.
