HE R.C.I.A. RITE OF SENDING AND ELECTION..............

The First Sunday of Lent opens the period of Purification and Enlightenment for the Catechumens and Candidates for Christian Initiation this Easter, with their Sending to the Bishop for the Rite of  Election.  Last night the Sacred Heart Parish R.C.I.A. gathered in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacramento, with the other parishes of the greater Sacramento County area, for the Rite of Election with Bishop Jaime Soto presiding.  By my count, there were 199 Catechumens and 176 Candidates present at the evening celebration, the last of 3-4 celebrations of the Rite of Election held on Saturday and Sunday...to be continued...........
