The school is an important ministry of the parish. Bringing children to the Catholic faith, with its rich tradition of liturgical and prayer experiences, gospel values and community service is the reason for our school. All-school liturgies, attended by students in Grades 1-8 (and sometimes Kindergarten), are celebrated every Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. and at 8:30 a.m. on holy days of obligation.  The students prepare for the liturgy at a weekly all-school music practice and in their classrooms.  Classes rotate throughout the year in planning the school liturgies.  Prayer services are held monthly, usually in observance of special occasions. During the church season of Lent, the Stations of the Cross are prayed weekly to commemorate the passion and death of Jesus.  Also during Lent, our junior high students participate in a Day of Renewal, led by high school seniors from McNicholas High School who have participated in a Kairos experience.  Throughout the school year, outreach projects are conducted to benefit those in need both in our local and global communities.  These efforts help to promote an atmosphere of charity within the school and a lifelong commitment to community service.

The Youth Ministry of St. Thomas More Parish encourages all students in grades 6-8 to participate in the junior high ministry in order to learn the necessary skills to bring them closer to Christ and their faith community. They will explore the challenges of life through sharing their experiences and learning the prayer strategies to further develop a Christian lifestyle. They will participate in activities and events, which will inspire and encourage them to share their spirituality with others in the community. Meetings are held on Sunday night from 7-9 p.m. Summer sessions are also planned. Events and activities include local field trips, overnight lock-ins, making rosaries for the mission and our troops.
