Rite of Election
The Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion is celebrated annually in February, both in Tucson and Yuma, by the adult catechumens and candidates preparing to receive the Easter Sacraments. Parish RCIA Directors are working with the Diocesan Office of Worship for the preparation of these rites.
Parish celebrations of the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion may also be celebrated by the pastor at a suitable time. The First Sunday of Lent is the recommended time. The parish script is available from the Office of Worship.
Tucson: Sunday, February 19, 2023 at St. Augustine Cathedral at 3pm
Yuma: Sunday, February 26, 2023 at St. John Neumann Church at 2pm -
