The Islands’ catechumens, which this year number more than 200, signed their names into the Book of Elect at Rite of Election ceremonies across the diocese during the first weekend of Lent, March 4-5. Shown here are photos from the Rite of Election for Oahu catechumens, March 5 at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa. Bishop Larry Silva, above, was the main presider at the ceremony.
