Oahu catechumens gathered at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa in Honolulu on March 10 for the Rite of Election. Each catechumen signs the Book of the Elect as they prepare to enter the Catholic Church this Easter. Similar Rites of Election were held on the Big Island, Kauai, Oahu and Maui.
In his homily, Bishop Larry Silva said the catechumens are an inspiration to all of the faithful in that they look beyond the Catholic Church’s current trials and can see the beauty and fullness that the Catholic faith has to offer. (Photos courtesy of Dann Ebina)
