We are blessed to have 4 adults and 2 children in our St James RCIA program this year. We call
those preparing for baptism, “The Elect,” because they have been called by God to join His
community. At the Rite of Election on Feb 17th, they began a period of intense preparation to
receive the Sacraments of Initiation including Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy
Communion at the Easter Vigil. In John 3:5 Jesus says, “No one can enter the kingdom of God
without being born of water and Spirit.” This new birth will happen for them in a few weeks.
