Throughout the ages, we see successful individuals strictly following their principles. They use their principles as guides to achieve their goals and complete projects. We would love to obtain the principles of Albert Einstein, George Washington, Leonardo da Vinci, or Mahatma Gandhi so we might compare our principles to understand success.

COVID-19 SAFETY
Starting June 15, 2021,
The Church will Reopen for Regular Services,
All Liturgical Celebrations, and Religious Services
Reminder: Even though the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are being significantly reduced, COVID-19 remains a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease. Kindly continue to protect yourselves, your loved ones, and our community by following all recommendations.- Services will be held inside the church with no capacity limits.
- Reserved designated areas for families with unvaccinated children will observe social distancing and capacity limits within those areas.
- Current Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles Archdiocese guidelines require everyone to wear masks while indoors.
- St. Thomas More parish also recommends continuing other practices that help prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as social distancing and regular disinfecting.
- We love our parishioners: Please carefully consider all safety options.
- Vaccinations have been demonstrated to significantly reduce the chances of getting COVID-19 and hospitalization if you do become infected: Only 3% of COVID-19 hospital patients are also fully vaccinated.
- Testing, along with quarantining if positive, can help you protect those you care for while reducing the spread so we can all get back to normal.
- Holy Communion will be offered only in the form of bread, and the preferred distribution is by hand.
