Pray for Our Elect and Candidates

We ask your prayers for those who will be initiated at the Easter Vigil this year.  This Sunday, we'll celebrate the final scrutiny with our elect (those preparing for baptism) at the 10:00 a.m. Mass at Sacred Heart Church. The scrutinies are meant to uncover, and then heal, all that is weak or sinful, and bring out, and then strengthen, all that is upright, strong and good. This ritual includes the 'laying on of hands' by the priest (as well as their sponsors/godparents), which is a personal prayer for each of the elect. 
You can view the video of last week's laying on of hands above.

As their Catholic community of faith and support, please keep our  the Elect in your prayers as they prepare for Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist:  Frank, Gaby, Aoife, Abby and Aedan Ryan.  We also ask your prayers for our Candidates for Reception into the Catholic Church, who will receives the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist: Suzanne Dunne, Lisa Lesniak and Diane Ryan (yes, part of the same Ryan family).
