Welcome to the St. Thomas More Fraternity. We are 1 of 3 Secular Franciscan fraternities in the Houston, TX metropolitan area. Our meetings are on the 4th Sunday of the month around 12 PM at Holy Rosary Catholic Church’s Parish Education Building, which is a small gray building across the street from the church, behind the parking lot, with the words “Parish Office” written on the door.

We like to start our meetings by attending the 11 AM Mass at Holy Rosary. The group Mass is not mandatory, but we like to have Mass together as a fraternity, in order to be a public witness to our Franciscan vocation. Members of our fraternity can attend Sunday Mass at their own parish if they desire.

The leaders of our fraternity council are as follows:

Minister: Carlos Rodriguez, SFO

Vice Minister: Lore Payne, SFO 

Secretary: Nick Kovacs, SFO

Treasurer: Teri Medina, SFO

Formation Director: Ray Medina, SFO

Councilor: Laura Luera, SFO

Spiritual Assistant: Fr. Victor Brown, OP

To understand in greater detail on the function of the leadership positions in a local Secular Franciscan fraternity, read the following passages from the General Constitutions of the Secular Franciscan Order: Articles 49, 50, 51, 52, 89, and 90.
