Students from Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Nashville gathered in Sagrado Corazon at the Catholic Pastoral Center for Mass celebrated by Bishop J. Mark Spalding on Thursday, Feb. 7 in celebration of Catholic Schools Week.

The Diocese of Nashville held the Rite of Election on Sunday, March 10, for those candidates and catechumens who will enter the Church when they receive the Sacraments of Initiation – baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist – at the Easter Vigil Mass this year. The Rite was held at Sagrado Corazon in the Catholic Pastoral Center on McGavock Pike in Nashville by Bishop J. Mark Spalding. People from parishes across the diocese and their sponsors were on hand to affirm their intention to join the Church and to have their names inscribed in the Book of the Elect.
