Registration for Sacramental Programs Registration forms and letters for the First Eucharist, First Reconciliation and Confirmation Sacramental Preparation Programs are mailed to all registered members of St. Thomas More. If you are not a member and would like to participate, please call the parish office: 651.227.7669. 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 on the East Campus in the Pastoral Center, on Saturdays from 10:00-11:30 am. You must pre-register by calling the Pastoral Center: 651.227.7669. Baptisms are celebrated on Sundays in the East Campus Worship Space during the 10:30 am Mass and at 9:00 am (after the 8:00 am Mass). A list of dates is follows.

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. Weddings are held on Friday evenings (time is flexible) and Saturdays at 1:30 pm. The next Morning of Reflection and Preparation for Engaged Couples, with Cindy Nedved and Fr. Joe Weiss, S.J., Ph.D., pastor, is Saturday April 24, 2010, 9:00 am-12:00 Noon in the East Campus Worship Space.
