Planning has begun, for the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion, which will take place at St George’s Cathedral, Southwark, on Saturday 5 March 2022 at 12.30pm.

We recommend, to every parish, that you begin the process of verifying baptismal status, ascertaining who is a Catechumen and who is a Candidate, and obtaining the names of godparents/sponsors, before Christmas. Our first mail out, with all the required forms, will be sent to you at the beginning of January.
