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.

Did you receive the note we sent to our Liturgical Ministers? We look forward to welcoming you back to your ministry as obligatory Mass attendance resumes. Please click here for more details.
