On March 12, 2017, Bishop Warfel gathered with catechumens, candidates, and parishioners at St. Patrick Co-Cathedral in Billings for the annual Rite of Election. Those slated to join the Church at the Easter Vigil in their respective parishes had the opportunity to hear and meet the Bishop. As this event alternates between the cathedrals, next year’s celebration will be held at St. Ann Cathedral in Great Falls.
