Office of Faith Formation

The faithful of the Archdiocese are asked to observe these Special Days of Prayer in their devotions or other private prayer, in the General Intercessions of the Mass, and through the selection of other liturgically proper prayers for the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours.

Attached please find the forms for registering for the Rite of Election on March 10 at 4pm. These will also be available on our website at sfarch.org/worship at the end of the week. The sooner you register, the closer you will be to the front of the Cathedral! If someone else in the parish should be getting this form, please forward it to them. As a reminder, the Rite of Election is mandatory for all catechumens; it is optional but highly encouraged for Candidates for Full Communion. We of course hope everyone will come and experience this unique event at the cathedral, and one of the key rites in the Rite of Christion Initiation of Adults. Once you send in your forms, we will verify that they were received and the contact person will be sent all future communications for the rite as we get closer to March 10. Please let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Laura Bertone

Candidates from the parishes in the archdiocese are welcome to attend with their chaperons for an all day retreat in preparation for their confirmation. Sign up is required.
