St. Thomas More Catholic Church

About this church

St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Lynchburg celebrates a Saturday Vigil Mass at 5 p.m. and Sunday Mass at 8:30 and 11 a.m. Daily Mass is normally offered Wednesday through Friday at 12:05 p.m.; the parish flags temporary priest-availability changes on its homepage, so weekday visitors should check before traveling. Confession is published for Thursday from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 3 to 4:30 p.m., while Thursday Eucharistic Adoration runs from 12:30 to 6 p.m. The parish also maintains livestream access and a homily podcast.

Established by the Diocese of Richmond in 1978, St. Thomas More grew from the need for another Catholic parish in the Lynchburg area and marked forty-five years in 2023. Its modern campus supports sacramental preparation, adult formation, Catholic initiation through OCIA, and programs for children from pre-K through high school. The pre-K-to-fifth-grade program connects Catholic stories with a call to live as missionary disciples; the high-school group uses LifeTeen for grades nine through twelve. A dedicated campus-ministry connection serves Catholic students at Liberty University. Newcomers can start with any weekend Mass, while families should use the current academic-year registration pages because youth meeting dates and locations can change. Hospital visitors seeking a priest are directed to contact Lynchburg General Hospital's switchboard or nursing station.
