This Rite is for all catechumens (non-baptized persons aged 7 and up) who are preparing for initiation at the coming Easter Vigil through Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion. All Catechumens are expected to attend the rite unless prevented for good reason; however, it is optional for younger children (ages 7 to 11).
Before the Rite of Election of Catechumens, your parish might have celebrated the Sending of the Catechumens for Election (see RCIA 106ff). The Book of the Elect in which the catechumens' names were inscribed is brought to the Rite of Election and will be used in the diocesan celebration. Please do not forget the Book of the Elect from your parish. The name of each catechumen will be called from the Book of the Elect and presented to the bishop. After all the catechumens are presented, the bishop will sign each book. Register your group using the form below.
