St. Thomas More Baton Rouge

At our Vigil of All Saints, we will remember in a special way those who were buried from St. Thomas More during the past year (October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026).

Please join us tomorrow, October 31, at 4:30 p.m. as we gather for the Holy Mass to remember our beloved deceased, give thanks to God for the gift of their lives, and pray for the repose of their souls.

As we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints, we are reminded of the Communion of Saints and the hope we share in Christ's promise of eternal life. May the saints intercede for us, may our departed loved ones be welcomed into the fullness of God's heavenly kingdom, and may we find comfort in the hope of the Resurrection.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

Youth of STM - 7th grade and above - are invited for an evening of “Pizza and Prayer” on Sunday, November 8th, hosted by STM and GALS Women's Ministry.

Following the 5:00 pm Mass, pizza and desserts will be served in the Coffee Shop. After a time of food and fellowship with friends, Adoration will be held from 7:00 - 8:00 pm, offering an opportunity to grow closer to Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
