Pictures from the Rite of Election

While our parish welcomes new Catholics into the Church throughout the year, Lent is a special time during which we accompany those in their final preparations for baptism at the Easter Vigil. In our parish, there are five individuals at this stage, including four children and one adult. On Sunday, February 25th, they participated in the Rite of Election at the Cathedral of St. Andrew in Grand Rapids with the bishop. Additionally, a Hope student took part in the Rite of Call to Continuing Conversion during the same liturgy, and they will be fully received into the Roman Catholic Church during the Easter Season. Let us remember them, along with their families and sponsors, in our prayers as we continue to walk with them in faith, serving as passionate disciples of Jesus Christ.


Si bien nuestra parroquia da la bienvenida a nuevos católicos en la Iglesia durante todo el año, la Cuaresma es un momento especial durante el cual acompañamos a aquellos en sus preparativos finales para el bautismo en la Vigilia Pascual. En nuestra parroquia, hay cinco personas en esta etapa, incluidos cuatro niños y un adulto. El domingo 25 de febrero, participaron en el Rito de Elección en la Catedral de San Andrés en Grand Rapids con el obispo. Además, un estudiante de Hope participó en el Rito de Llamada a la Conversión Continua durante la misma liturgia, y serán plenamente recibidos en la Iglesia Católica Romana durante la temporada de Pascua. Recordémosles, junto con sus familias y patrocinadores, en nuestras oraciones mientras continuamos caminando con ellos en la fe, sirviendo como discípulos apasionados de Jesucristo.
