Rite of Election

During Lent, adults from across our Archdiocese gather for the Rite of Election, publicly affirming their desire to enter the Catholic Church. At Easter, they will be fully welcomed into the Church through the sacraments of initiation.

The entire Archdiocese is invited to celebrate this moment of grace. Our presence is a visible witness to the faith of the Church welcoming them and the prayers that are surrounding them.
