Rite of Election rescheduled for March 1

At the heart of our Christian life is the understanding that each of us is called by God.  We hear, proclaimed in Scripture, the words of Christ who said “You did not choose me, but I chose you.”  Not only does Christ choose, he calls us and knows us by name. These are the truths of our faith enacted ritually at the Rite of Election.

The Rite of Election originally scheduled on February 22, 2026 at 3 p.m. in Our Lady of Hope Parish, Blackwood was postponed due to blizzard warnings.
