The Scrutinies are a series of rites for adults who wish to be baptised. They are celebrated in the third, fourth, and fifth weeks of the Lenten season. This is considered a period of purification and enlightenment for the elect. There are prayers of exorcism which are intended to help purify the elect from sin and sinful desires. The overall prayers and laying on of hands are to help the elect be enlightened by the Word and grace of God. Please pray for all those who are to be received into the Church and receive the Sacraments this Easter.
The 1st Scrutiny takes place next week at the 5.30pm Vigil Mass.
