Upcoming Rite of Election

Dear Friends:
 
I am so grateful to have such a fine committee from a cross-section of parishes here in Central Washington working with me on the next Rite of Election as well as setting policies and procedures related to the RCIA process.  It is vitally important the clergy, religious and lay catechists review this letter regarding the upcoming Rite of Election as well as the broader questions on the RCIA process here in the Diocese of Yakima.  Kindly review this letter and be sure it gets to your key RCIA leadership in your local parish.  Click here to read.
 
+ Bishop Joseph Tyson
