My 8 year old daughter's Rite of Election was celebrated here..

http://www.olacathedral.org/

The Archbishop of Los Angeles, Cardinal Mahony presided. The regional Bishops from the surrounding counties also attended.

After gathering in the Cathedral the catechumens were presented to Cardinal Mahony asking that they be allowed to participate in the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and the eucharist.
Near the end, the Cardinal declares them "to be members of the elect, to be initiated into the sacred mysteries at the next easter Vigil."

One more step and my daughter will be a full member of the Catholic Church.
Just wanted to share. :)

My wife and I got to meet the Bishop after standing in a long line. I got a pic but I need to develop and scan it.

Here is some good info on the Rite of Election for those interested, as well as general RCIA info:

humblejoe?? Why weren't you presented? I'm sorry if I'm prying. :(

Well I didn't feel ready. I didn't feel like I was ready to take the sacraments. I know a lot about the sacraments intellectually, but I'm having a hard time with them in my heart. I don't understand how some of that stuff can work. And I'm scared of some of the stuff. I'm also afraid of what my family would say if I converted. Oh well... :sigh: I wish it wasn't so hard. :(
