Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Adults seeking to be incorporated in the Catholic faith community are invited into the Rites of Christian Initiation (RCIA). RCIA is a process of inquiry, catechetical study and formation, ritual celebrations, and full incorporation into the Catholic Church. Usually this process takes about one year and culminates at the Easter Vigil. RCIA includes preparation for Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. This year long process begins when the inquirer makes the initial contact. The formal process will be on Wednesdays, 7:00-9:00 PM until Pentecost. Please contact Fr. Joe Weiss, S.J., by calling 651.227.7669, x307. Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (CIC) Christian initiation for all school age children (and their families) who have not been baptized or who were baptized in another tradition and have not received the sacrament of First Eucharist. There is no "right" age to receive the sacraments, it is whenever you are ready. Everyone is called at their own time and place. Please contact Fr. Joe Weiss. Baptism Preparation Classes are for those wanting their children baptized. Classes are held in the Pastoral Center on the East Campus from 7:00-8:00 pm. You must pre-register by contacting Cindy Nedved: 651.227.7669 x305.

Marriage at Saint Thomas More Church The vocation of marriage is written in the very nature of man and woman as they come from the hand of the Creator God. Marriage is God's way of joining two people in love and fidelity and of bringing new human persons into existence. Christ raised marriage to the dignity of a sacrament as a covenant made between a man and a woman which establishes between them a partnership for the whole of life. A Christian marriage is a sign to the world of Christ's presence among us.
