Ida Karem is Now Counted Among the Elect

St. Leonard parishioner Ida Karem is now enrolled in the Book of the Elect, one of the next steps in her journey to be fully initiated into the Catholic faith at this year’s Easter Vigil.

Her sponsor and spiritual companion has been Fran Mastropaolo, and you may have seen Ida at the 10am Mass. She has been joining us for worship for the past year. This photo shows the prayers of support from the St. Leonard community who “sent” her to the Rite of Election with Archbishop Shelton last weekend.

As she makes her final preparations for full initiation, continue to pray for her, her family, and her sponsor as we accompany her to the Easter mysteries.
