Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we will not be able to celebrate a Diocesan Rite of Election this year. Instead the Bishop is asking each parish to celebrate a Parish Rite of Election on February 21- the first Sunday of Lent. Together with the Diocesan Office of Worship, we will be presenting a virtual workshop to help parishes prepare.
If you have catechumens who will be baptized this Easter, please mark your calendars and save this date. It will be important for you to know the details of how the Parish Rite of Election is to be celebrated and your responsibility in getting the signatures of the elect to our office so that they can be placed into the Book of Elect.
