Rite of Election

"This step is called election because the acceptance made by the Church is founded on the election by God, in whose name the Church acts. The step is also called the enrollment of names because as a pledge of fidelity the candidates inscribe their names in the book that lists those who have been chosen for initiation."

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, no. 119

The Rite of Election is held on the First and Second Sunays in Lent at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception.
