The Rite of Election is an important milestone for adults who are preparing for the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, First Eucharist, Confirmation).
On the first Sunday in Lent, in cathedral churches all over the world, the faithful gather with their bishops or diocesan administrators to welcome and enrol those who are preparing to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at Easter.
This year we enrolled Kingsley Avan, who was preparing for Baptism, and Alex Daviet who was preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
We congratulate them, Joy and Kasia (Godparent/Sponsor), and all who have accompanied them from their parish of Raheen-Mungret-Crecora.
All of us, who joined with them in St Johns Cathedral, were once again reminded that our Lenten journey will lead to a deeper conversion of our hearts and lives to Christ, and make us ready to renew our baptismal vows at Easter.
