Welcoming Our Elect

On March 6, St. Ignatius Parish sent some very special members of our community to St. Mary’s Cathedral to join people from parishes all around the Archdiocese to celebrate the Rite of Election with Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone. This liturgy formally welcomed those preparing for the Sacraments of Initiation to the next step in their faith journey. During the Great Vigil of Easter on Saturday April 16, our sisters and brothers called by Christ will celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. Please hold these women and men in your prayers in a special way during these Lenten days.
 
Our Elect to be Baptized, Receive First Eucharist and Be Confirmed:

Caroline Cho, Patrick Ennis, Christina Reyes, Jill Salek, Erin Meeks, Mark Seielstad, Robert Doetsch, Kyle Jacobson, Grant Lai, Ann Iannuccillo, Jag Dhaliwal
