Bishop celebrates with new Catholics

The RCIA says "To show his pastoral concern for these new members of the Church, the bishop, particularly if he was unable to preside at the sacraments of initiation himself, should arrange, if possible, to meet the recently baptized at least once in the year and to preside at a celebration of the Eucharist with them. (RCIA 251). On Saturday, May 14th, Bishop Lennon celebrated with the newly initiated Catholics during the cathedral's 4:30pm mass.  At the Easter vigil this year, more than 500 persons entered the Catholic Faith across the eight counties of the Diocese.  Many were in attendance at this Saturday's Mass with Bishop Lennon.
