St. Thomas More Catholic Church - Centennial, Colorado

L.K. H.

I went here for confession. I prepared thoroughly the night before. Waited in a long line. In the confessional, I quickly listed my sins in under 2 minutes. And instead of absolution I received sarcasm. The priest condescendingly said to me,"this is not a therapy session"...I left confused and embarrassed. For several months I did not go to confession out of fear I did something wrong. I then spoke to a couple of other priests and they were annoyed that one of their brethren would say that to a lay faithful.

Interestingly, I also asked them if the Church allowed prenuptial agreements before marriage which, according to one of the priest at this church, is not allowed. And all of them told me -- There is no impediment regarding prenuptial agreements.

So my experience here was being mocked and lied to. Like we don't have enough problems in our church without this kind of nonsense.

This parish is spectacular in design & atmosphere. The Masses here are absolutely beautiful with great detail applied to all aspects of the Mass, from the sacred music, the awesome homilies, the bells & incense, the many--I counted 8--vested altar servers to the reverance of the priest as he offered the body & blood of our Lord for our redemption. If you want a seat, be sure to arrive a bit early. Afterward, don't forget to check out the delicious breakfast served in the spacious community room (for an affordable price) when available, as well as the religious goods store right there. Father Randy, the pastor, does not shrink from delivering poignant homilies, so be sure to listen up...he speaks clearly from an undeniably Catholic perspective, as do all the priests at St. Thomas More Parish.

Fr. Chris is a true man of God and delivers the truth. My wife and I were amazed by his teaching. The Holy Spirit is truly moving in this church. We went for donuts in the Padre restaurant after mass and sat with two nice ladies, Mary and Benita, and they welcomed us as visitors travelling through the Denver area. They said they too had been welcomed. Gorgeous sanctuary and campus, a true testament to the parishioners' devotion to the Lord.

Amazing parish on fire with the love of God. The priests are faithful & knowledgeable about the Christian faith and the teachings of the Catholic Church. May God always protect and bless the priests and people of St. Thomas More parish.

This is a magnificent church. It is modern, but still majestic. It may seem a bit much to have two large screens with well operated cameras, but it helps to stay focused on what is happening. The sound is great - I could hear all of those who spoke and all of the music. I have always found the homilies inspiring. I am not a member, but have heard great things about the community

I had my mother’s memorial here because she worked at the school for many years. Father Matt and deacon George were horribly rude to my family. They made the entire service about them instead of my mother. We were told the service wasn’t for us and we could not alter anything. We were ignored on our requests for certain music for her memorial video. We were told if we wanted a celebration of life that we could do it in a bar or restaurant because the Catholic Church doesn’t use those words. They said that my mother may be in purgatory or heaven, which I thought was insanely inappropriate. Neither of them made an appearance at the luncheon even though they knew my mom well. The whole service was made about them and what they thought would be best, instead of putting the focus on Carrie and her family. I thank Gretchen and Kendra for their gracious speeches at the end because it was the only part of the service that felt centered around my mom, ms Carrie.

I was lucky enough to know Ms Carrie. Her unexpected passing left everyone spinning. I looked to the church, the church she participated in, supported, and loved. I was shocked at how careless Father Matt and Deacon George were with her service. How callous they were in respect to where she may be in her afterlife, IN FRONT of her loved ones and family? Guessing whether she made it to heaven? After her years serving the church? I am sickened. How despicable. Only God may judge. How dare they take that prideful stance, to pretend to know. She was one of God’s children, and he loves all his children. I may not know much, but I do know what love is, and they showed none. Shame on them to pretend they spread the word of God. I hope they look inward, apologize to the family and repent. For shame. I will pray for them.
