It sounds like you have the opportunity then to attend the Easter Vigil.

I love the Easter Vigil, with its extra readings. It also reminds me of the story from before I was born when my dad and grandfather once both gave up beer for Lent the same year. They attended the Easter Vigil, stopped at a party store on the way home, and split a 12 pack that same night after Mass. Makes me kinda laugh thinking about it.

This month, I am on usher duty at my church, for the 8:00 AM mass, so I don’t think the Easter Vigil is part of my plans. However, our parish has the honor of having Bishop Carlson celebrating mass on Easter Sunday, so I’m really looking forward to that.

Believe it or not, it has already been announced that there would be no Mass on Saturday nor Sunday night, but you got my gears grinding...our parish is a small one and I'll bet one of the bigger ones will have a celebration I can attend

Thanks!
