  • 2022 rite of election details

    • registration for 2022 will open first week of feb.

      The Rite of Election is scheduled for the weekend 19th & 20th of March (Saturday at 10 am & 2 pm, & Sunday at 4 pm).  Since it falls on the Third Sunday of Lent, the same Sunday as the First Scrutiny, that Rite will be included, with appropriate catechesis.

      The Rite of Election is an important opportunity for those about to be received into the Church at Easter to spend time with the Bishop, the principal Shepherd of the people of the Diocese of Oakland.  Preparation for the Easter sacraments will already be underway, so this might be a good opportunity for catechists to discuss the role of the Bishop in the life of the Church, and why welcoming catechumens and candidates into the period of preparation is so important.
