Rite of Election 2021

23 February 2021

On Sunday 21 February, Bishop Anthony Randazzo welcomed Catechumens from across the Diocese of Broken Bay to the Cathedral for the Rite of Election.

Thirty Catechumens from eight parishes were present to be formally enrolled as members of the Elect and enter into their final period of preparation before receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. Their names, written in their parish’s Book of the Elect, were presented to Bishop Anthony who signed each book. A prayer was also offered for Candidates – those who are already Baptised, but will be received into the Catholic Church at Easter.

We pray that each Catechumen and Candidate will be filled with God’s grace and blessing as they journey towards the Easter Liturgies.
