At the 4:30 p.m. Mass Dec. 2 at St. John/ Transfiguration in Rome, 10 candidates from that community and St. Leo/St. Ann in Holland Patent were invited to continue their faith journey at the Rite of Welcome. This is an important step in the Rite of Christian Initiation process as the candidates prepare to be received into the Church at the Easter Vigil.
