About St Thomas More
St Thomas More is a Roman Catholic church in Plymouth, Devon. It is part of the Diocese of Plymouth.
Introduction
In 1964 a new chapel of ease was built in Southway, dedicated to Saint Thomas More.
History
The church was built to serve the Southway Estate, after a Mass centre in a farmhouse and Sunday Mass at the local county primary school. In January 1963 a site reserved for church building was purchased from Plymouth Corporation. Saint Thomas More church amalgamated with Saint Peter's church to form the parish of Saint Peter & Saint Thomas More on January 1st, 2006. The chapel of ease became a separate parish in November 1969.
Sacraments and pastoral care
Parents seeking baptism for their child receive individual preparation with the parish priest. Children from School Year 3 upward may begin Holy Communion preparation, with sessions supporting parents as first teachers of faith. Confirmation preparation starts in autumn for young people in School Year 7 and above, aiming for Confirmation during Eastertide. The Smart Loving Course prepares couples for marriage in the parish.
