The Great Vigil of Easter ~ April 19, 7:00pm The Easter Vigil is the first Mass of Easter and the most glorious Mass of the church year. This is the night of great rejoicing as we light the new Easter candle and listen and respond to the great stories of our faith - the Scriptures. Our catechumens and candidates are welcomed into full communion with the Church, we renew our baptismal vows and come to the Eucharistic table as renewed members of the Body of Christ.
