| As part of our mission, the entire community is called upon to welcome and support these children in their formation and discernment. It will be our duty to pray for them and with them throughout the year in the liturgy — especially in the Rite of Sending for Election and Continuing Conversion, in the early spring of 2024, and the Rites of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil in 2024. We will be asked to help them learn about our faith in the traditions of our Church — as they continue to participates in CMI and as they grow in appropriating a gospel life that connects faith with action. Certain people have also been asked to assist them and their families in varied support roles as sponsors, godparents, and catechists. Thanks for joining us in prayer as they make this important step on their journey of faith. |
