The Book of the Elect is a formal record of the names of all those from the parish who have been elected for Baptism. This book is presented to the bishop at Rite of Election, which typically happens on the First Sunday of Lent.

This book also includes a product supplement page that explains the tradition(s) associated with the book, important theological concepts surrounding its use, and other important information. Users will receive access to an online PDF of this document for use as a bulletin insert or as a catechetical aid.
