Rite of Election — St. Cloud, Cathedral of St. Mary
February 22 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
With the new OCIA comes the added emphasis that those who are unbaptized, and wish to join the Church, are to be differentiated from those who have been baptized. Therefore, the Rite of Election will be only for catechumens (those who are not baptized), their godparents, catechists, and family & friends. There will be no Call to Candidates for Continuing Conversion (candidates who are baptized and seeking to come into full communion).
The Rite of Election is an essential part of the catechumens’ faith journey to the Easter Sacraments at the Easter Vigil in 2026 and they are expected to be present. The Church has gifted us with this wonderful rite, and we are called to celebrate it to its fullest. If for a serious pastoral reason, a catechumen is unable to participate in this liturgy you must contact the Office of Worship to discuss the options available. Register catechumens at https://forms.office.com/r/KcNwkchckc.
Please complete the registration by February 16.
Questions can be directed to the Office of Worship, (320) 255-9068.
