For catechumens the next thing is the Rite of Election. This is generally with the bishop and at that point you move from being a catechumen to being one of the elect.

I understand that I’m going to be going through this Rite soon. What is the next step in the process is it the 1,2 & 3 scrutinies ? If so will we be able to invite family?

There are two things. One is that with the Rite of Election you will enter into a new phase of the RCIA process, the Period of Purification and Enlightenment. Ideally the is a prayerful time as you make your final preparations for the sacraments at the Easter Vigil. And part of this period is that there are the Scrutinies on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays of Lent. Certainly you can invite family to attend Mass on those days and join in the prayers for you and your companions.

Thank you for the information about this, just asking in case family wants to go.

My friend here is a site you’ll find helpful [from a former RCIA teacher]
The full title of the next major rite for baptized candidates is “Rite of Sending the Candidates for Recognition by the Bishop and for the Call to Continuing Conversion.”
It’s almost always referred to as “Rite of Sending.”
You’ll recall that RCIA includes five different celebrations for catechumens in the corollary stage before this rite: celebrations of the Word (RCIA 81-89), minor exorcisms (90-94), blessings (95-97), anointings (98-103), and the presentations (104-105). Before we delve into the Rite of Sending, let’s check which may apply to the baptized.
RCIA 406 encourages celebrations of the Word. Rites of exorcism would seem to apply only to the unbaptized. Ditto the anointings.
The rite doesn’t explicitly advocate blessing the candidates, but since the baptized are certainly blessed in liturgical settings, this would seem appropriate, assuring that a proper reference to the state of the candidates is included. RCIA 407 states that the presentation of the Creed and Lord’s Prayer may be used.
As we get deeper into this part of RCIA, we’ll look at the special rites for the “Call to Continuing Conversion” and the “Penitential Rite.” But these are reserved to Lent or the period of final preparation before Confirmation and Eucharist.”
May The Holy Spirit continue to guide your Journey; PRAY very much

I would just point out that depending on your parish and/or the celebrant the actual ceremony of the Scrutinies could be very brief (perhaps lasting no more than five or so minutes) and your family might wonder why they were invited. However the Rite of Election is presided over by your bishop or his delegate, will include dozens if not hundreds of catechumens from other parishes in your diocese, and is a very elaborate, very beautiful, and very moving ceremony. Between the two, your family would get much more out of attending the latter although they would certainly be welcome to attend either.Thank you for the information about this, just asking in case family wants to go.
Just my thoughts.

It will be at the Archdiocese in the western part of my home state. I think it will be more than just my parish involved and I do know that there will be baptisms as well as confirmations unless that is going to be done at my home parish.???

I’m a bit confused by what exactly you’re referring to.
The Rite of Election is usually at the cathedral or another large parish and involves the bishop. It takes place on the first Sunday of Lent. The baptisms take place in your home parish as part of the Easter Vigil.
