The Rite of Election is an important step from being a Catechumenate to an intense preparation for the Sacrament of Initiation. These men have chosen to to take the right step in to fully embracing the Roman Catholic religion in their lives. Our community is highly encouraged by the will of these men and the almost 1,200 individuals who are getting ready to receive their Sacraments of Initiation at the Saturday Vigil to be in full communion with the church. Please continue to pray for Klodoh, Jimmy, Luis, Brayan and Kenndy.
