RCIA Members attend the Rite of Election
Location: Cathedral of St. Patrick
RCIA MEMBERS ATTEND RITE OF ELECTION
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you
by name and you are mine” (Isaiah 43,1)
Four members of the English RCIA will be sent today, February 26th, after the homily to attend the Rite of Election at the Cathedral of St. Patrick. These catechumens who are preparing for Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist join all the other catechumens of the New York Archdiocese to celebrate this important step. At this ceremony, also known as the Enrollment of Names, the catechumens are presented by the parish representative to Cardinal Dolan as sincere in their desire to be initiated into the sacramental life of the Church. Their godparents attend with them and testify that these catechumens are desirous of receiving the Sacraments of Christian Initiation. All the community agrees to support them in faith, prayer, and example.
At the Cathedral each catechumen is called forward by name and inscribes her or his name in the Book of the Elect of this archdiocese. As the “Elect,” those chosen by God, they then continue their preparation for the reception of the sacraments at the Easter Vigil on April 7th, 2012.
We congratulate Arquelina Livramento, Helton Lopes, Michelle Santos Silvino, and Rafael Sowinangoen! Pray to the Lord for them, their families, and our parish community that all may be renewed and share the joys of Easter!

Tuesday Lenten Vespers Series Begins Tuesday February 28
Location: St. Mary of the Angels Chapel
THEME: "Where's that in the Bible?"
Exploring the Biblical roots of Lent and its traditional practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving can give us a new perspective on this season of the Church's liturgical year.
New perspectives can lead to renewed interest, deepened participation and a truer conversion of heart as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter.
