Four hundred and sixty-three catechumens and their godparents, RCIA facilitators, and parish priests from 34 parishes gathered at the Church of the Holy Family on February 26 to celebrate the Rite of Election, presided over by Archbishop Julian Leow.
Unlike the past two years when the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown prevented the Rite of Election from being held onsite at the Archdiocesan level, this year the celebration was held at one location. Despite the lockdown, the majority of RCIA ministries in the parishes continued, unabated to promote the RCIA process and hold the sessions online. In 2021, the Rite was held at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Setapak, with a small number of representatives and it was live-streamed.
After listening to the testimonies of the godparents, RCIA facilitators, and the community at large, and receiving the expressed consent of the catechumens, Archbishop Julian asked that the names of the elect be presented to him for ratification. Parish representatives, accompanied by their respective parish priests, presented the Book of the Elect to the archbishop. Having ratified the names in the Book of Elect, the archbishop declared the catechumens as the “elect”.
