Rite of Election

Saturday, March 5, 2022

Archbishop Aquila celebrated the Rite of Election at the Cathedral, formally affirming that the candidates and catechumens are ready and willing to receive the Sacraments of Initiation. During the Rite of Election, individuals preparing to enter into full communion with the Church at Easter publicly state their intent to become members of the Catholic Church and receive a special blessing to continue on their journey of preparation. ⁣

Mount Carmel presented one candidate, Meagan Castle, and one catechumen, Nicole Frye. They will receive the sacraments here at the Easter Vigil, Saturday April 16th at 8PM.

Please pray for our elect and all those who will be received into the Church.
