The Rite of Election is a significant step for those on the journey to becoming fully initiated members of the Catholic Church. During this special ceremony, catechumens—those who have been preparing for baptism—are formally called by the Church to the Easter sacraments.

At this rite, the Church acknowledges the readiness of the catechumens to receive the sacraments of initiation. It is a moment of joy and affirmation, where each person is welcomed and supported by the parish community as they affirm their desire to become a part of the Catholic faith.

This rite, celebrated by the bishop in the Cathedral, is a beautiful expression of the Church’s love and encouragement for those embarking on this sacred journey.
