Truly
I don’t know what the numbers are for our diocese (Palm Beach), but at the rite of election I was amazed at how many people were either candidates or catechumens. And that was only half of them. They had another service for just as many people.
In the small RCIA program that my husband is in this year, there are 9 of them. Now that does not seem like many, but it’s more than we had in the last few years combined!
