I’m an RCIA team member for the second year and we have twice as many including I am proud to say. my granddaughter. And now they are not catechumens but the elect. She’ll be Baptized, confirmed and receive her first communion tonight. I get chills just thinking of it.

I was baptised, confirmed and received my first communion Easter Saturday 2008. Best decision I have ever made in my life.
To all the new Catholics that will enter the Church today, WELCOME HOME!

God bless them. And I pray that those who have left the Church, or turned lukewarm, will see the light and return.

We hope these new Catholics don't end up being "C and E" Catholics, that is, those who end up going to Mass only on Christmas and Easter.
That's an old term and I always wonder about those Catholics. WHY bother to go at all if they only go twice a year? Doesn't the 3rd commandment say "Keep holy the Lord's Day"?
They DO know all about sins and confession. It seems pathetic to me.
I GUESS that people decide that keeping the Sabbath holy can mean ANYTHING they want. Sigh. So sad for them.
They usually regret it. Also, towards the end of their lives they start THINKING about eternity. We all hope that it's not "too little too late."

Almost everyone of the catechumens that I know of are outstanding Catholics no C&Es that I know of.

They DID choose the "difficult" faith to follow--so many things we have to do!! :o)

From personal experience, I think the key to not becoming a fallen away or lapsed Catholic is frequent confession. I went to confession for the first time in over 20 years yesterday. I did not want to let another Easter pass by without receiving.
To anyone reading this who hasn't gone to confession in years--Go! Begin with the most serious sin on your conscience. The rest are easy.

Checked the number and our little Diocese most of which is in the middle of nowhere had 500 catechumens definitely up from last year but don’t know by how much

1,053 in the San Bernardino diocese. I assume that’s combined. I think 15 combined at my parish, 13 of those are elect (ten kids and three adults), and one of the adults is yours truly.
I was at Good Friday service and when they did the solemn intercessions, they got “amen!”s for both parts of the prayer for catechumens and candidates. I liked that.
