Those preparing to fully enter into the life of the Catholic Church participated in the Rite of Election during the first weekend of Lent at Christ the King Cathedral.
During the Rite of Election, catechumens, and candidates (Journey of Faith participants) publicly expressed to Bishop Robert Coerver their desire to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. Their names were recorded in the Book of the Elect, a designation which reflects that the bishop, in the name of the Lord and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, is choosing or electing them to share in the Easter sacraments.
It was a very special ceremony filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit!
Please pray for our catechumens and candidates that will be receiving sacraments at Easter Vigil.
Praise the Lord for a wonderful Easter Vigil with our Journey of Faith class! Thank you to everyone who helped this class along on their journey into full communion with the Catholic Church.
