Love Your Neighbor

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart... and you shall love your neighbor as yourself." — Matthew 22:37-39

At St. Thomas More, our faith doesn't stay inside the walls of our church; it moves out into the streets, neighborhoods, and hearts of the South Kansas City community. Loving our neighbor is a core expression of our Catholic identity and a direct response to Christ's call to serve "the least of these."

Explore the ministries below to discover how you can share your time, resources, and unique gifts to help lift up our neighbors and build a community rooted in Christ's love.
