Diocese of Meath Celebrates the Rite of Election
Catechumens prepare for Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
Bishop Tom celebrated the Rite of Election on the First Sunday of Lent with catechumens from Longwood, Laytown, Dunboyne and Mullingar parishes. During the ceremony, the sponsors, catechists, and catechumens affirmed their intention to join the Church, and the Church formally made its ‘election’ of these catechumens to receive the Sacraments of Initiation at Easter. The 'Elect' will intensify their catechetical instruction during the Lenten season in preparation for the Easter Vigil.
