The Rite of Election 2025
The Rite of Election and the Call to Continuing Conversion mark significant milestones for those preparing to be baptised and received into full communion in the Catholic Church. During the Rite of Election, those seeking Baptism write their names in the Book of the Elect, which lists those who have been chosen for the sacraments of initiation. Meanwhile, those already baptised who seek full communion in the Church, participate in the Rite of the Call to Continuing Conversion, renewing their baptismal commitment to Christ and His Church. On the first Sunday of Lent, Bishop Michael Gielen celebrated this sacred occasion with 67 catechumens and candidates at St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral. As they journey toward Easter, we rejoice with them and keep them in prayer, asking God to strengthen their faith and deepen their love for Christ and His Church.
