Approximately 60 people from across the Diocese of Dodge City were baptized into the Catholic Church during parish Easter Vigils April 7.

For the former catechumens (people not yet baptized), the final part of the journey began with a Rite of Election on or near the first Sunday of Lent.

The 60 catechumens and 130 candidates (candidates enter into full communion with the Church by receiving confirmation and first Eucharist at the vigil) were officially recognized by Bishop Ronald Gilmore and the people of the Diocese of Dodge City at the Rite of Election Mass Feb. 25.
