Rite of Election

Last week in the Church of St. Theresa, 13 candidates for baptism and confirmation had their names enrolled in the Book of Elect during the first part of the Rite of Election, also called the Rite of Sending Off.

The second part of the Rite of Election was celebrated today in the Church of Holy Family, Kajang, which saw 629 catechumens being enrolled by the Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur, His Grace Tan Sri Murphy Pakiam, as elect in preparation of the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil. Apart from the catechumens (now called the Elect), their sponsors, godparents, RCIA teams members, parish priests and other parishioners were also present to lend them support.

The Parish of St. Theresa participated for the first time with a total of 13 candidates from the English and BM section.
