Update+ Extra!
January 21, 2021
The Update+ newsletter we sent out yesterday contained information regarding the Rite of Election which will be held on February 21st. It included 2 links--one to an information sheet and one to the online registration form. As the registration form required a password, it was brought to our attention that this was confusing for those who want to register their catechumens.
So, we have eliminated the use of the password and you should now be able to access the form directly. Below is a repeat of the article that appeared yesterday, along with a new link which will bring you to the updated information and registration form. PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION SHEET BEFORE BEGINNING TO FILL OUT THE FORM.
We hope this makes the process a bit easier for everyone. If you have any questions, please contact Tina Romeo at 508-929-4306 or tromeo@worcesterdiocese.org
Rite of Election
The Rite of Election will be held at the Cathedral on the 1st Sunday of Lent, February 21st at 3 pm. This year, because of the requirements of social distancing, we are only celebrating the Rite of Election – for the unbaptized. We are NOT celebrating the companion Rite of Recognition and Call to Conversion for the previously baptized – Protestants who are coming into the full communion of the Catholic Church and previously baptized Catholics who are completing their initiation. Please complete the registration form that can be found at on our website as soon as possible. We need to verify the numbers you submitted on the survey and we will be issuing tickets for this celebration. Further notes for a parish ceremony with baptized candidates will be forthcoming.
