About Us

Welcome To sttoms.org

Students register with the parish each fall by filling out a Student Registration form. These forms are distributed before all the Masses for several weeks in September, and are also available on this website. The cards are available again when the new semester begins, as some students change addresses, or return from study abroad.

From the information you give us about yourself, we develop a database that enables us to keep you informed about the activities and events you in which you showed an interest. Each fall, as we register the student population, we ask all of the permanent residents to complete a Permanent Resident Involvement Form, which updates your basic information (home address, phone, email address, etc.) and asks how you would like to be involved in the parish during this school year. We use this information to update our parish data base and create lists of volunteers interested in our various ministries. This annual involvement form is not to be confused with the official parish registration form. Parishioners from other parishes who attend St. Tom's with some regularity are encouraged to fill out an involvement form.

Mission Statement

We, the people of St. Thomas More Parish, gifted and led by the Holy Spirit, are called to build up the Kingdom of God among the college communities of Kalamazoo. Diverse, yet one, we are called to be the Body of Christ, to praise and worship our heavenly Father, to proclaim God's Word, to love and serve others, especially the poor and neglected. We welcome into our parish family all who wish to share in this mission.
