Our RICA elect have now celebrated three Scrutinies. The Scrutinies, through or prayer, help center them on Christ as they prepare for their baptism this Easter Vigil. Our Elect and Candidates have feel very blessed and welcomed by the parish especially through our prayer. Please continue to pray for them as they move closer and closer to joining us around the Table of the Lord. Click here to get to know our candidates.
In addition to our five adult elect and candidates who will be coming into the Church this Easter Vigil, we will celebrate baptism with 2 infants (children of our adult Elect) and 15 children and youth. In the past at St. Francis, children and youth celebrated the sacrament during a separate Mass because of the number among other reasons. This year they will be celebrating baptism with our adult elect as they’ve passed the age of reason. In addition to the Sacrament of Baptism, they will celebrate the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. Our two infants will only celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism at this point.
