Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion 2009
St John's Cathedral, Portsmouth, Saturday 28th February 2009
The numbers of those taking part in this annual service was the highest in recent years: 72 catechumens (those preparing for the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and eucharist at Easter) and 154 candidates (those preparing for confirmation and/or eucharist, and in many cases also being received into the Catholic Church) were joined by Bishop Crispian, godparents, sponsors, members of RCIA teams, clergy, family and friends from throughout the diocese and further afield.
