More than four hundred people took part in Rites of Election at Westminster Cathedral last weekend.
At Masses presided over by Cardinal Nichols, who was assisted by Bishops Sherrington, Hudson, McAleenan and Wilson, 219 candidates and 200 catechumens attended Rites of Election over Saturday and Sunday.
In his remarks to the congregation, Cardinal Nichols made much of the Rites’ communitarian nature. “We give thanks to God for the ways in which our parishes and diocesan family will be enriched by you and we promise to continue to support you and your families with our prayers and the example of Christian life that you experience in our parish communities.”
