Since May 2020, 382 people have entered the Church through baptism or by making a profession of faith. Many of these people will become Catholic during the Easter Vigil Masses, but some have already completed a shortened process and were allowed to enter the Church earlier.
The elect, formerly known as catechumen, have not been baptized. They will receive baptism, confirmation and first Communion. Candidates are Christians who are seeking full communion in the Church and will make a profession of faith and also be confirmed and receive first Communion.
