Rite of Election

Yesterday, the Candidates and Catechumens from were presented to the Bishop for the Rite of Election.  The Elect are those adults who are seeking to enter into the fullness of the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.

Gianna and I accompanied our sponsoree, Lindsey, for the Rite of Election.  The Bishop greets EACH Catechumen and Candidate in the Diocese and “welcomes her to the family.”   It was really awesome to see so many adults choosing to come into full union with the Church.

During this Lenten season, please pray for them–and especially Lindsey.
