New Wings at St. Thomas More Church

New Wings was a ministry to separated, divorced, widowed, and single Catholics -- people without partners.  
  • Friendship
  • Education
  • Resources
  • Spirituality

We have discontinued our meetings and activities, providing instead the list below of resources available to meet the specific needs of people without partners. We encourage individuals to participate in the life of their respective parishes. All are welcome in our faith community.

If you would like to talk to someone, on behalf of yourself or perhaps your son or daughter, about your concerns pertaining to separation and divorce,  please call our parish office at (415) 452-9634.
