On the first Saturday of Lent, there is the Annual Rite of Election, which officially marks the willingness
of our Catechumens and Candidates to enter into the Catholic faith at the
Easter Vigil. It also marks the Church’s
acceptance and recognition of their desire to enter the church. Bishop Campbell warmly invited the diocese to
support the Diocesan Catechumens and Candidates in this significant liturgy of
welcome and affirmation.
Please pray for all those preparing to be received into the Church this Easter.
