STM Parish

St. Thomas More Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. It is sponsored by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) and staffed by Jesuits and their lay colleagues. 

Welcome from our Pastor

Welcome to Saint Thomas More Catholic School, a ministry of St. Thomas More Catholic Church.  Our church parish offers the ministry of our school because we deeply value supporting the religious, spiritual, and integral development of our children.  We are glad to welcome to our school families from our parish and beyond who recognize in STM’s mission the values they desire for their children.

Saint Thomas More is a school in the Jesuit tradition, a history of almost 500 years of education throughout the world affiliated with the Jesuit religious order in the Catholic Church.  In addition to an emphasis on excellence in education, that tradition embodies a spirituality affirming the goodness of God’s creation, laboring in the world, and seeking to care for each person uniquely in all aspects of their human development.  Religious experience and formation are woven through the educational structure along with promoting a dialogue between faith and culture.  

I hope that you will find a supportive home and community at Saint Thomas More for your children and your family.
