This Sunday our RCIA candidates, Ahern Hawken and Jordan Hawken, will journey to Holy Name Cathedral and join with catechumens and candidates from the whole Archdiocese of Chicago to publicly give their affirmation of intention to join the Catholic Church. At our 10:30 Mass this weekend we will formally “send” our Catechumens to the Cathedral for their Election. They will inscribe their names in our Book of the Elect which we will take to the Cathedral. In the presence of Bishop Joseph Perry, they will be formally recognized. After this ceremony, the catechumens will be called the “Elect” and will begin a Period of Purification and Enlightenment which is their final, intense preparation for the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. Please pray for our Elect as they enter these Lenten Days of final preparation to become fully initiated members of our church.
