Winter / Spring 2023
Dear Pastor and Coordinator of the Catechumenate (RCIA),
We congratulate the over 250 new members of the elect from the parishes listed below who participated in the Archdiocesan Rite of Election ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on the First Sunday of Lent, February 26, 2023 with His Eminence Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan.
We thank everyone who participated in this year’s Archdiocesan Rite of Election. It was a great testimony to the work of the Holy Spirit within our many parish communities throughout the Archdiocese of New York.
May we continue to pray for our Elect as they journey through this Lenten season.
May our catechumens always remember the day of their election and be grateful for the blessings they have received from heaven.
May their teachers, sponsors and godparents be living examples of the Gospel.
…and may their fellow parishioners, families and friends continue to help them follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
