Marriage is the unique Sacrament which binds one man and one woman together in a covenant under God and His Church. It is a Sacrament of vocation, a response to a specific calling that God has placed in the hearts of a couple. It is a bond that lasts for life which is permanent, faithful, and fruitful. Marriage is not just about two people, but is the foundation of the family, the "domestic church," the most basic and foundational structure, not only for the Church, but for all of society.
Weddings at STM
We are happy to help you plan your wedding at St. Thomas More. The Sacrament of Marriage requires a preparation period which begins with the couple contacting one of our priests at least six months in advance of the wedding date. Before confirming your reception location please complete the form below and one of our priests will contact you to set up an appointment to discuss planning your wedding. At that meeting the priest will be able to schedule your date. Couples are required to participate in marriage preparation programs at the parish and at the diocese level.
Validations at STM
If your marriage took place outside of the Catholic Church but you would like to have your marriage recognized and blessed through the Catholic Church our priests are happy to help you with that process which is called "convalidation". Call the parish office and request to make an appointment with one of our priests to discuss how to begin that process.

Eucharistic Adorers
Adoration is a place and a time set aside for Jesus. It is a time to be still and listen to the love that Jesus has for you. It is a time for you to pour out to Him all that you struggle with and all that you are grateful for. It is the quiet your life is in need of. Our Adoration Chapel is open 24 hours 6 days every week. Pick one hour in your week to set aside for Jesus and you. Your conversations together will change your life.
