During the Easter Vigil Mass, 515 people will enter the Church through baptism or by making a profession of faith. 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.
Note: Candidates in some parishes entered the Church over the past 12 months as part of a shorter initiation process. They are not all listed here.
