Welcome!

St. Thomas More Parish is a friendly, growing, and thriving Catholic congregation in Scranton, Pennsylvania with a mission to welcome people of all walks of life to the Catholic Church through beautiful worship, authentic fellowship, robust teaching, compassionate outreach, and joy in sharing the Good News. We are a community that strives each day to live out the Catholic faith in the modern world with integrity and joy.

Our founding members and our priest were members of a local Episcopal parish who all came into the Catholic Church as an intact congregation in 2005, but our membership has expanded in both its numbers and its diversity ever since, as we have welcomed people of many other backgrounds into our fellowship: Lifelong Catholics, lapsed Catholics rediscovering the Church, Protestants exploring the Catholic faith, and pre-Christian seekers wanting to learn more about Jesus.

Because so many of us are converts, our embrace of the Catholic faith is not an unreflective adoption of our parents' religion, but a joyful homecoming after long and thoughtful discernment. So whatever your background - whether Catholic, Protestant, or Seeker - your questions will be welcome and honored in our community. Yet we believe the great questions of life do indeed have satisfying answers, available to all in the Catholic faith. We hope you will join us in this journey of seeking after Truth - and finding it!
