We are a Jubilee Church!

St Thomas More Church has the great privilege
to have been designated a Jubilee Church.
A Jubilee Indulgence can be obtained
by those who devoutly visit any Jubilee site
which we are one of, and there engage
in Eucharistic Adoration, meditation
or Rosary concluding it with Our Father,
Profession of Faith and prayer to Our Lady.
Please, engage in welcoming pilgrims in our church.

More information about what
the plenary indulgence is
can be found here.

More information about the Jubilee Year
celebration in our Archdiocese of Southwark

A decree for our parish to be
a Jubilee Church can be found here.
