Preaching at St. Thomas More



Eschewing simplistic, self-affirming messages, preaching at St. Thomas More is robust and challenging, usually explicating the Gospel of the day, keeping our focus squarely opon the life, teaching, passion, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Homilies from our principal 10:00 a.m. Solemn Mass - almost always given by our Pastor, Fr. Bergman - are archived for one year, and appear in order below from beginning to end of the liturgical year, followed by the Solemnities, listed by date (these may or may not fall on Sundays). On both lists, a dividing line marks our current position in the liturgical year.

We endeavor to provide all homilies in both PDF and MP3 formats. Simply click on the format desired and the file should open.

As we continue to build this new website, priority will be given to posting homilies as they occur from our current position in the church year, with older homilies being posted as time allows.
